10 year old Seyi-Ojo Anjolaoluwa demonstrated rare brilliance when he became the youngest Nigerian Microsoft certified Professional and indeed one of the youngest of such in the world.

Anjolaoluwa a JSS 1 pupil of Valencia College Ibadan, Oyo state achieved the rare feat when he scored 869 out of a possible 1000 in Administration Management and Configuration Exam 70 - 270, and thus adjudged by Microsoft as a certified professional in Microsoft Windows XP.



Microsoft Certified Professional is an internationally recognised certification programme provided by Microsoft cooperation. The certification is tailored towards building skills on Microsoft business solutions, focusing on client-end operating systems such as windows XP, Vista, Windows7 among others.


Alongside Anjolaoluwa were 5 other pupils of Valencia College, Adeyinka Oreoluwa, Odunsi Nicholas, Ajao Blessing Ololade Toluwanimi and Agbele Oluwaloniope also made good grades in the Microsft Exams and were thus certified, thus making a bold step at being the Bill Gates and Steve Jobs of their time.

Valencia College's Principal, Mrs Victoria Morakinyo commended the pupils for their enviable feat stressing that their achievements came as a result of the school's state-of-the-art facilities and employment of expert and quality teachers who in turn deliver qualitative education to the pupils.

Morakinyo also assured the pupils that pupils that the present feat was just the beginning of their ICT career.

On his part Mr Oresanya Joshua who is the Head of Training ITS, an Ibadan based IT company in charge of Valencia College's ICT section stressed that the achievements of the pupils deserves celebration while also saying that ICT should as a matter of urgency be integrated into the nation's school curricullum.


“Schools should be encouraged to embrace ICT because some schools still teach computer studies the same way they teach social studies without exposing the kids to practicals. If not for Anjolaoluwa and the other pupils that excelled in the Microsoft Professional Certification test, we would not have known that ICT gurus are within us,” Orasanya said.
