Governor of Anambra state’s wife, Dr Nonye Soludo has offered scholarship from primary school to Master’s degree level to an eight-year-old mathematics genius named Chukwuemeka Nwuzor.
Gatekeepers News reports that Nonye made the announcement during a meeting with Chukwuemeka and his family at Governor’s lodge, Awka on Wednesday.
The young genius was seen in a recent viral video, solving complex mathematical questions, including advanced formulas and numerical equations.
The Governor’s wife noted that the scholarship would help Chukwuemeka complete his education in the best schools from primary school to any level he desired.
She said, “ I learnt that the boy in the video was from Nibo community in Awka South Local Government Area of Anambra. I immediately launched a search for him and soon found his family.”
“To test his talent, I brought a calculator close and ask him different mathematical questions, formulas, equations and structures, and he answered all correctly.”
“This is why I resolved to sponsor the boy’s education from his present primary school class to any level of his choice and also build mentorship around him to help him reach his full potential.”
“Chukwuemeka’s breed is rare among mankind and I promise to give him all the support that he needs to grow.”
Nonye further advised his parents not to put him under pressure by forcing him to skip classes due to his academic abilities.
She added that Chukwuemeka should be allowed to go through the single grade level in one academic year to make him walk at a pace that would grow his talent.
