Her achievement has attracted widespread praise, including a congratulatory message from the Minister of Youth Development, Ayodele Olawande, who described the milestone as evidence of what dedication and perseverance can achieve.
In a statement issued on Monday, the minister applauded the teenager for reaching a professional milestone that is widely regarded as one of the most demanding qualifications in the country.
He added that her success reflects "the power of hard work, discipline, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to excellence."
According to the minister, Okundaye's accomplishment demonstrates the potential of Nigerian youths to excel when given the right support and opportunities. He expressed hope that her story would motivate other young people to pursue their ambitions with determination.
Olawande also commended her parents, teachers, mentors and everyone who contributed to her success, noting that their encouragement and sacrifices played an important role in helping her reach the milestone.
Reaffirming the Federal Ministry of Youth Development's commitment to empowering young Nigerians, he said the government would continue promoting programmes and policies designed to help youths develop their talents and achieve their goals.
Okundaye's feat surpasses the previous record set in 2022 by Jonathan Adewale, who became Nigeria's youngest chartered accountant at the age of 17.
Her latest achievement has been widely celebrated as another example of Nigerian youths breaking barriers and setting new standards of excellence.
