The Nigerian automaker Innoson Vehicles has given Ejikeme Joy, who received the highest overall score in the recently completed Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), a scholarship worth N3 million.
According to the company’s chairman, Dr. Innocent Chukwuma, this was proof of the company’s dedication to academic excellence.
He said the gesture reflects the company’s commitment to funding young Nigerians’ educational endeavors as well as the celebration of academic accomplishment.
Ejikeme Joy will be able to complete her university education with ease throughout the course of the next five years thanks in large part to the scholarship, he continued.
In his words: “Vehicles decision to award the scholarship to the best UTME candidate is a commendable one, as it not only rewards academic excellence but also serves as an inspiration to other students to strive for excellence in their academic pursuits.
“We will continue to demonstrate our commitment to social responsibility through various initiatives, including scholarship awards, job creation, and support for local communities.
“This latest scholarship award is a testament to Innoson Vehicles’ dedication to empowering young Nigerians and investing in the future of the nation.”
The Chairman was thanked for the scholarship, and Ejikeme Joy, an Enugu State native who now lives in Nnewi with his father, an Okada rider, vowed to make his father proud.
