The brilliant student, who applied to the University of Ibadan, has taken to social media to beg for scholarship support to enable him to write his NECO examination. He disclosed the score he obtained in the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).

In a TikTok video posted by @marjoriegrahamfoundation, the young boy identified himself and shared his JAMB score. He said: "My name is Oniyide Emmanuel, and I am from Egan Senior Grammar School. Early this year, I wrote JAMB, and by the grace of God, I came out with a score of 326."
He then revealed the course he wishes to study at the University of Ibadan: "I want to study Biomedical Engineering at UI, that is the University of Ibadan. I need to write NECO, but presently, due to the financial situation at home, I have not registered. Things are not so smooth at all. I need a scholarship because of the financial situation I mentioned."
