A young Nigerian man, Idris Abdulrasheed Adeiza, has gained widespread admiration after achieving an impressive JAMB score of 323 in 2024, a remarkable feat that placed him among the top scorers in Kogi State. His academic potential recently attracted a sponsorship, allowing him to pursue his dream of studying software engineering at the Federal University of Technology, Akure (FUTA).
Despite his extraordinary achievement, Idris faced significant financial challenges due to his family’s modest means. His father works as a bricklayer, and his mother is a trader, making it difficult for them to afford his university education.
Idris’s story first came to public attention on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), where a Nigerian man, moved by the young man’s dedication and circumstances, shared Idris’s situation. This post highlighted Idris’s resilience and determination to pursue higher education despite financial hardships.
The initial post read, “Idris Abdulrasheed Adeiza is from Kogi State. He scored 323 in JAMB 2024, making him the second-highest scorer in Kogi State. His father is a bricklayer, and his mother a trader, leaving him with no means to continue his education. He had considered learning a trade due to the lack of financial support for his studies.”
The man further expressed his intention to support Idris, saying, “I spoke with him a few minutes ago and have committed to supporting his education journey through the university. He initially wanted to study Chemical Engineering at FUT Minna, and I pray he succeeds well. He is a star, and I believe the world will celebrate him someday.”
In a heartwarming update, the man later shared with his followers that “Idris’s dream has come to pass. He has been offered admission to study software engineering at the Federal University of Technology, Akure. I am committed to supporting him through his academic journey until he graduates. Through him, his generation will be liberated.”
The story sparked a wave of support and encouragement on social media, with people expressing their admiration for Idris’s resilience and congratulating him on his accomplishments. Many praised the man who offered his support, commending his generosity and dedication to helping Idris fulfill his potential.
