Idris was schooled in an uncompleted building in Kogi state but still scored very high in the exam, which recorded a mass failure.
In a tweet, Alex revealed that Bere-mont Group had offered Idris a full scholarship and would donate books to his school to support other students.
"Good News: Bere-mont Group, owners of Bereton Montessori School and Charles Dale Memorial International School Port-Harcourt, are now offering Idris Abdulrasheed Adeiza full scholarship for his entire duration in the university. In addition, they will donate books to his school to support other students.
"I love this. More private schools should toll this part!"

"The state authorities should be called out for offering this low-esteemed platform for the kids for studies, irrespective of provision of counterpart funding options from the Universal Basic Education Commission - UBEC."

"Bereton is my alma mater. Good news and God bless King Alfred Diete-Spiff and don't know if Lady Victoria is still in charge."

"While I'm happy with their gesture, when are we gonna fix the fundamentals?
"We can't build a working system off of charity. There's an education board and people in the loop who are simply not doing what they should. Even with tight resources."

Scholarship opportunity for female UTME candidate
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a man had announced his intention to give a full scholarship to a female JAMB candidate.
In a post, he listed the requirements the student must meet to secure the scholarship.
According to Onyia, the scholarship winner must be a female with an aggregate score of over 320 in the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination. He further stated that the girl must be in desperate need of help and have no family support.
