Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a company had offered a scholarship to a boy who scored 323 in the UTME.
Idris became a viral sensation after the CEO of Educare, Alex Onyia, publicised his performance in the 2024 UTME and the sorry state of his school.
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.
