The Anambra State Government has offered a scholarship to Miss Nkechinyere Umeh, an indigene of the state who has the highest score in the 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination.
A statement by the commissioner for Education, Prof. Nvozi Chuma-Udeh said that Umeh scored 360 in the examination.
Chuma-Udeh said that the student had been offered a scholarship by the state government to study any course of her choice at Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University.
“Nkechinyere Umeh has been declared the best by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, having scored a cumulative mark of 360 in the 2023 UTME.
“This testament that efforts by Gov. Chukwuma Soludo’s administration to reposition the education sector are yielding the desired dividend.
“This scholarship will encourage and motivate her to do more in future and also serve as an example to other students in the state,” she said.
