Anambra offers scholarship to eight-year-old maths genius

0

The Anambra State Government has offered a full-time scholarship to Master Chukwuemeka Nwuzor, an eight-year-old mathematics genius who was captured in a viral video solving mathematics some weeks ago.

The wife of the state governor, Dr Nonye Soludo, who announced the scholarship award after meeting Master Chukwuemeka and his family at the Governor’s Lodge in Amawbia on Wednesday, said the scholarship is for the boy’s complete education in any school of his choice from primary to any level he wants to attain in life.

 

Master Chukwuemeka was seen in a viral video giving correct answers to different mathematical questions, including solving advanced formulas and numerical equations.

 

Learning that the boy in the video is from Nibo in Awka South Local Government Area of the state, to be precise, Mrs Soludo said she immediately launched a search for him and soon found his family.

On invitation to the Governor’s Lodge, Amawbia, the governor’s wife, sat with the boy, his father, and his younger brother.

She brought a calculator close and asked the boy questions about formulas, equations, and structures, to which he answered all correctly.

 

The governor’s wife then announced that she would sponsor the boy’s education from his present primary class to any level of his choice and build mentorship around him to help him reach his full potential.

She said, “Chukwuemeka’s breed is rare among mankind, and he has incredible talent. I have pledged to give him all the support he needs to grow, starting from the scholarship to any level.

 

“I also advised the parents not to put him under pressure by forcing him up in classes but instead allow him to walk at a pace that grows his talent better.”
