Wife of the Anambra State Governor, Dr Nonye Soludo has offered scholarship from primary to masters degree level to eight-year-old Chukwuemeka Nwuzor who is a mathematics genius.

Soludo made the announcement when she met with Chukwuemeka and his family at the Governor’s lodge in Awka, on Wednesday.

Recall that Nwuzor was recently seen in an online video solving complex mathematical questions including advanced formulas and numerical equations.

She said that the scholarship would help the child complete his education in the best schools from primary school to any level he desired.

“I Learnt that the boy in the video was from Nibo community in Awka South Local Government Area of Anambra, and i immediately launched a search and soon found his family.

“To test his talent, I brought a calculator close and ask him different mathematical questions, formulas, equations, and structures; and he answered all correctly.

“This is why I resolved to sponsor the boy’s education from his present primary school class to any level of his choice and also build mentorship around him to help him reach his full potential.

“Chukwuemeka’s breed is rare among mankind and I promise to give him all the support that he needs to grow,” she said.

The Governor’s Wife advised the parents not to put Chukwuemeka under pressure by forcing him to skip classes due to his academic abilities.

According to her, the boy should be allowed to go through the single grade level in one academic year to make him walk at a pace that grows his talent better.
