The wife of the Anambra State Governor, Dr Nonye Soludo, has offered a scholarship to Master Chukwuemeka Nwuzor, an eight-year-old mathematics genius, from primary school to masters’ degree level.

Mrs Soludo made the announcement when she met with Chukwuemeka and his family at the Governor’s Lodge in Awka on Wednesday after the boy recently went viral solving complex mathematical questions, including advanced formulas and numerical equations.

She said, “I learnt that the boy in the video is from Nibo community in Awka South LGA of Anambra. I immediately launched a search for him and soon found his family.

“To test his talent, I brought a calculator close and asked him different mathematical questions, formulas, equations and structures, and he answered all correctly.

“This was 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.”

Mrs Soludo advised the parents not to put him under pressure by forcing him to skip classes due to his academic abilities. (NAN)
