The 2015 NetRiders CCNA competition for Sub-
Saharan Africa was conducted by Cisco International
and the results have since been released with young
Mr. Clement Omachoko Agbo of ABU Zaria Cisco Networking Academy emerging the overall winner. Clement
Agbo beat competitors from Ghana, Senegal, South
Africa, Ethiopia and Kenya among several other
countries that participated in the event. The
announcement was contained in a July 9th 2015 e-
mail communication from Mr. I'm on Akpan (CSR
Manager Nigeria, Cisco Corporate Affairs) to the
Head of IT Academy (ICICT) which oversees the
affairs of the ABU Cisco Networking Academy. The e-
mail began with a message from the South African
Offices of Cisco stating that the competition actually
covered the whole of Sub-Saharan Africa. “It is with
great excitement to announce the top 2015 Network
student in Sub-Saharan Africa from Ahmadu Bello
University (ABU Zaria).” , Mr. Imoh announced in the e-
mail that was copied to other Cisco Academies
nation-wide. He further stated that “…it is certainly a
major achievement to have for the first time since
inception of the Cisco Networking Academy program in
Nigeria a student coming top in the CCNA NetRiders
competition from Nigeria. Please, join me to congratulate
ABU Zaria for this outstanding achievement and being
the first Academy in Nigeria to win the award.” , Mr.
Imoh’s e-mail concluded. While responding to the
good news, the Director of ICICT, Prof. S. B. Junaidu
remarked that it was indeed pleasing to know that our
Academy produced the first ever winner of that
completion in Nigeria; adding that “this goes to further
buttress why we are seriously upgrading facilities at the
ABU Cisco Academy so as to always give the best to our
students, in order to enable them not only compete
globally but also emerge winners everywhere they go
after going through their studies at our Academy” . An
indigene of Benue State Nigeria, Mr. Clement
Omachoko Agbo studied Electrical Engineering at ABU
Zaria. By winning this international competition, he
will be going on a study trip to Cisco Headquarters
(United States) around January 10 – January 16,
