Another girl gets scholarship
Meanwhile, a Nigerian girl did exceedingly well in the West African School Certificate Examination (WASCE) but could not continue.
The girl took the WAEC examination in 2023, but she has remained at home due to a lack of resources to register for JAMB.
Her story was shared on X by Alex Onyia, who said Wigwe University, founded by the late Access Bank CEO, would offer the girl scholarship.
