Bricklayer’s son with high JAMB score secures sponsorship to study software engineering
A young Nigerian man, Idris Abdulrasheed Adeiza, who achieved an impressive JAMB score of 323 in 2024, recently received a sponsorship to study software engineering at the Federal University of Technology, Akure.
His achievement, though extraordinary, came with challenges, as his father, a bricklayer, was unable to afford his university education.
The story first gained attention on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), where a Nigerian man shared Idris’s situation and determination to continue his studies despite financial difficulties.
In his initial post, he wrote, “Idris Abdulrasheed Adeiza is from Kogi State. He scored 323 in JAMB 2024, making him the second-highest in Kogi State. His dad is a bricklayer and his mother a trader. He had no hopes of continuing education because no one could fund it. He was already considering learning a trade.”
“I spoke with him a few minutes ago and have committed to supporting his education journey through the university. He wants to study Chemical Engineering at FUT Minna, and I pray he succeeds well,” he continued. “He is a star, and the world will celebrate him someday.”
Later, the man updated his followers with uplifting news: “Idris’s dream has come to pass. He has been offered admission to study software engineering at the Federal University of Technology, Akure. I will support him through his journey until he finishes. Through him, his generation will be liberated.”
The post sparked an outpouring of support and praise, with many sharing their thoughts and encouragement in the comments, commending Idris’s resilience and celebrating his future success.
