Chisom also lost her father shortly before the exam but she still posted a good result.
Alex, who shared her result on X, noted that Chisom wished to score 300 marks in UTME, but she ended up scoring 224.
His words:
"This youngster from my village lost her dad a few days before the JAMB exam, and she still managed to perform. She is the only child. Every evening after lessons, she sells ice fish in the market and one unique thing about her is that she is always studying until a new customer arrives. She has been in tears for not reaching 300 as she had dreamt of, but we assured her that her academics would be sorted. I see a star in her, and I know she will make us proud."
