A nine-year-old pupil of Role
Model School, Oregun, Ikeja, Lagos,
Jomiloju Tunde-Oladipo, has
emerged the youngest Nigerian
Microsoft certified professional.
He came tops among 21 pupils
who sat for the professional
examination in Lagos.
He is now a Microsoft office
specialist in office word 2010.
Jomiloju scored 769 out of 1,000 in
the examination held in August.
In his examination score report,
the slim-built boy performed well
in Sharing and Maintaining
Documents, Formatting Content,
Applying Page Layout, and
Reusable Content, among other
subjects.
By the feat, Jomiloju has joined
the league of young Microsoft
certified professionals, including
Nigeria’s 10-year-old Anjolaoluwa
Seyi-Ojo; an eight-year-old Indian,
Lavishnashree, and two Pakistanis,
named
Arfa and Thobani.
Microsoft Certified Professional is a
certification programme provided
by Microsoft Corporation. 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.
Jomiloju, whose certificate was
signed by the Chief Executive
Officer, Microsoft Corporation,
Steven Ballmer, says he did not
achieve this feat easily, but
through persistence and hard
work.
He says, “It was not all that easy,
because I had attempted the
examination last year, I did not
make it then. But I remained
focused and I put in a lot of hard
work.
“At home and in the school, I am
always on the computer. After
school hours, if am not doing
anything, I will go to my
Information Communication
Technology teacher, to learn more.”
Jomiloju sat for the examination
when he was in primary Five.
Relating his experience, Jomiloju
says, “In all, I answered 20
questions, after answering a
question, the computer takes you
to another one. And at times, there
will be an instruction to skip the
next question. But the programme
still directs one to come back to
those questions one had earlier
skipped.”
