A 15-year-old Nigerian student, Agbo Adoga of Graceland International School, Port Harcourt, has stunned the academic world by scoring a perfect 1600 on the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT), a feat rarely achieved globally.
The news was first broken on 𝕏 (formerly Twitter) by Alex Onyia, an education advocate and founder of Educare, who described Adoga’s performance as a historic moment for Nigeria.
The SAT, widely used for college admissions in the United States, has long been a rigorous hurdle for millions of students worldwide. Achieving a 1600 score, the maximum possible, places Adoga in the top percentile of test-takers globally.
Onyia, in his post, wrote: “I have very good news for Nigeria. This boy, Agbo Adoga from Graceland International School, Port-Harcourt, just scored a perfect SAT score of 1600. He is the first ever in Nigeria to achieve this.”
Reports indicate that Adoga has already amassed 84 national and international awards in mathematics, coding, and STEM competitions.
Among his many laurels are:
- Gold medals at the International STEM Olympiad in the Netherlands (2024) and Spain (2025).
- A perfect score at the Singapore & Asian Schools Math Olympiad in 2024.
- Winner of the Cowbellpedia Mathematics Competition (Junior Category) in 2023.
- Champion of the Maths4Life National Tournament in 2025.
