Pure water seller gets full scholarship
Winexviv who shared the story on X said the boy was challenged to write UTME and score above 300 to get a full scholarship.
The boy picked up the challenge and began to attend classes while still hawking his pure water after classes.
The UTME results came out and the intelligent boy shocked everyone with an aggregate score of 309. He has now been enrolled fully into a scholarship program.
Winexviv narrated:
“This youngster from my village Ugwu Chibuzo Augustus scored 309 in JAMB. He left school 2 years ago and has been selling pure water in the streets.
“We convinced him to join the JAMB prep program with a promise that he will get a scholarship if he scores above 300. He took up that challenge. He comes to classes during the day and goes back to sell his pure water after the days classes.
“During the monthly assessments he has been consistent with good scores and right now he made it. He has now been enrolled in our full scholarship program. He will be rewriting his WAEC from next week because he feels he is prepared enough to do it because of the intense training he gained since September.”
