Continuing, Oluwamayowa promised not to be complacent about his academic achievements as he believes he can do better than what he accomplished in WAEC and JAMB.

The Nigerian youth said:

"I had 5As when I was working towards 8 or 9As in WASSCE. I scored 323 in UTME even though I wished I was among the top 10 highest UTME scorers. I still thank God nonetheless and I will stick with the saying that says "shoot for the moon and if you miss you will still be among the stars".
