Neither age nor status could debar the African man from breaking records.
He has never won an award in his life. He only had hopes he would pass his professional exams at just a sitting.
Lo and behold, he has his dream come true and has emerged the youngest ever Chartered Accountant in Africa after acing all the required examinations of the Institute of Chartered Accountants (ICAN) in Nigeria.
He is Jonathan Adewale and guess his age, just 17 years old.
Exceptional Jonathan Adewale has now set the record of being the youngest accounting professional in Africa and one of the youngest, if not the youngest, in the world.
At 17 years old, Adewale has joined over 3 million global accounting professionals under the Institute of Financial Accountants (IFA). He started writing the accounting professionals examinations at the age of 14 while still in secondary school (High school).
Adewale is however not stopping at that but desires to proceed to the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile- Ife to obtain a Bachelor’s degree in Accounting with First Class Honors and interestingly has received a full scholarship by the Institute Of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria to realize this goal.
