The Anambra State Government has awarded a full-time scholarship, on August 7, 2024, to eight-year-old mathematics prodigy, Master Chukwuemeka Nwuzor, featured in a viral video solving math problems some weeks ago.
Dr. Nonye Soludo, the governor’s wife, announced the scholarship for Master Chukwuemeka after meeting him and his family.
She stated that the award covers his entire education from primary school through any level he chooses.
Master Chukwuemeka, featured in a viral video, answered various math questions correctly, including advanced formulas and numerical equations.
Mrs. Soludo, upon discovering the boy is from Nibo, Awka South, quickly found his family after launching a search.
At the Governor’s Lodge in Amawbia, the governor’s wife met with the boy, his father, and his younger brother.
She brought a calculator and tested the boy with questions on formulas, equations, and structures, all of which he answered correctly.
Mrs. Soludo announced that she will sponsor the boy’s education from primary through any future level and offer mentorship for his potential.
She stated: “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.”
