13-year-old Adegboyega Emerges Cowbell Mathematics Champion

A pupil of Ota Total Academy, Ogun State, Akintokun Adegboyega, again wins academic glory in a Mathematics competition, ETIM EKPIMAH reports Thirteen-year-old Akintokun Adegboyega’s appearance does not convey anything special about him. He looks ordinary like many other pupils in his age bracket– harmless and innocent. But beneath this innocence lies a head full of figures. Little wonder, he has again emerged the 2014 Cowbell National Secondary Schools Mathematics Competition champion. The young lad earlier in 2012 had emerged NASSMAC champion in the junior category. In this latest feat, Adegboyega alongside another 13-year-old Deborah Adesina emerged the overall best Mathematics pupils at the grand finale held in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State capital, last Thursday. Adegboyega, a pupil of Ota Total Academy, Ogun State, emerged tops in the senior category, while Adesina, a pupil of Graceland International School, Port Harcourt, Rivers State, came first in the junior category.
