Alex said the kind students made the money they are using to take care of Amazing Grace themselves through the sale of popcorn and others.

He said:

"N493,000 has been raised so far for this 7-year-old girl Amazing-Grace by the Evergreen School, Enugu Year 8 Students. They raised funds through the sales of wrist beads, popcorn, cotton candy, ankara-covered jotters and vision boards they made.
"The little Amazing-Grace lost her mom recently and her father absconded. The Evergreen School students are determined to raise enough funds to train her through the university. They will put her also in their alumni group to stay in touch with her learning even when they graduate from the school. This is what I call impact. I love this!"

Girl from Enugu gets a scholarship

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 a scholarship.
