Sodiq, who wants to study software engineering, cited Elon Musk as his role model.
His ambition and intelligence have impressed many with some netizens hailing him as a prodigy.
However, some have raised concerns about his age, with many pointing out that he will not be eligible for admission into federal or state universities until he is 16 years old. Some have advised him to pursue a private university instead.
Looking further into the list of students with impressive scores, another student, Ogndare Inioluwa, was spotted.
Inioluwa is 17 years old and wants to study Mechatronics Engineering. Like Sodiq, he also cited Elon Musk as his role model.
The impressive achievements of these young students have sparked a lecture on social media about the importance of education and the role of young people in shaping the future.

Meanwhile, Fox Nigeria previously reported that a Nigerian boy, Achunike Okafor, has been honoured by Science Park High School in Newark, New Jersey, for his extraordinary performance. According to TapIntoNewark, an online newspaper, Okafor received an International Baccalaureate diploma with a record-shattering 4.625-grade point average. Okafor's GPA is the highest among Newark's 2,649 graduates in the Class of 2023 and the highest for the city public school district.
His achievement has earned him more than 40 scholarship offers, many from the nation's top universities, including Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Duke, Princeton, Penn State, Stanford, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, University of Southern California, and Rutgers.
Okafor expressed gratitude for the opportunities to attend prestigious universities and represent his family and community. He said: “I do not take lightly the privilege and responsibility to be among the few individuals selected for such honours.”
