The reward for working hard is usually great. Governor Ugwuanyi of Enugu state has offered scholarship to Miss Cynthia Chinemerem Ali, a student who made straight A's in WAEC to any University of her choice.
The state government also resolved to present the student with a certificate of honour in further recognition of her outstanding academic performance.
The Education Commissioner, who briefed journalists in company with the Commissioner for Information, Mr. Ogbuagu Anikwe and the Special Adviser on Education, Dr. Sam Ugwu, alongside the parents and management of the school, added that Miss Cynthia has made the state proud and deserves the recognition and support of the state government.
He stated that the recognition was also a means of motivation and to encourage others to work hard to excel in their academic endeavors and continue to make their families and state proud.
The government charged her to remain committed to the pursuit of academic excellence, describing her as “a role model”.
Miss Cynthia, an 18-year-old indigene of Enugu State hails from Umuagama, Enugu Ezike in Igbo Eze North Local Government Area, has one of the best WAEC results in the State, South East geo-political zone and the country at large.
She has applied to study Medicine and Surgery in the University of Nigeria Nsukka (UNN).
To make this more motivational, it will be a good idea if the state governments of Nigeria can make this a routine. There are other students within the country that have this same kind of excellent result. Make them recognized too, it will go a long way.
