Sierra Leonean Tops 2023/2024 Cyprus International University
Abass Papani Kabbia, a Sierra Leonean student at Cyprus International University, has emerged as the best graduating student for the 2023/2024 academic year. Kabbia achieved an outstanding academic record, scoring a total of 36 A’s and 3 B’s throughout his four-year course at the university.
Kabbia joined Cyprus International University in 2021 to study Molecular Biology and Genetics, a course initially met with skepticism by many. Despite this, he graduated with high honors in all eight semesters, becoming the top graduate in his department, faculty, and the overall best graduating student of the university.
An alumnus of The Sierra Leone Grammar School, Kabbia took the WASSCE in 2017 and was admitted to the College of Medicine and Allied Health Sciences (COMAHS). However, he was unable to complete his course due to grade issues with the administration. In 2019, he enrolled at the University of Makeni (UNIMAK) to study Public Health, where he excelled by achieving 17 A’s in 22 courses.
