Brilliant Lad With 9As In (WASSCE), 297 In (UTME) And 1,380 In SAT, Seeks Government And Kind-hearted Nigerians To Support His Dream

With 9As in the 2017 West Africa Examinations Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE), 297 in the Universal Tertiary Education Examination (UTME), 1,380 in SAT, 105 in Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), including admissions from four universities in the United States of America, the world seems to be at the feet of Chimemezue Clinton Ezeani.

But that may not be so as the Imo State-born teenager’s dream might remain just that due to his parents’ financial inability to see him through school.

Ezeani is therefore appealing to the government and kind-hearted Nigerians to support his dream to become a mechatronic engineer at Illinois Institute of Technology, Chicago, where he has already been offered admission.

Mechatronics is a multi-disciplinary field of science that includes a combination of mechanical engineering, electronics, computer engineering, telecommunications engineering, systems engineering and control engineering.

At present, three sons of the Ezeanis are attending universities in Ghana. Adding a fourth son to the bill would worsen the family’s financial burden.

Though offered a place at Harvard University, Chimemezue 16, said he chose Illinois Institute of Technology because he got a tuition-free scholarship there.

Even with the tuition-free scholarship, Chimemezue’s parents said they did not know how to raise funds so he does not forfeit his admission.
