Members of the Parents/Teachers Association (PTA) of Evangel College, Aiyeteju, Kabba, Kogi State, has appealed to the State Governor, Usman Ododo, to offer scholarship to one of their students, Success Oluwaseun Adeniyi, following his sterling performance in the 2025 UTME/JAMB examinations.
They also appealed to the State Commissioner for Education, Science and Technology, Wemi Jones; the Kabba-Bunu LGA Chair, Zacchaeus Dare Michael and other well-meaning Nigerians to consider offering the indigent student a scholarship to achieve his dream of studying medicines and surgery either at home or abroad.
They made the appeal in a statement issued on Saturday, May 10, 2025, and signed by its Chairman, Wole Olowo.
The Association noted that for the second time in three years, Adeniyi broke UTME/JAMB examinations, scoring a total aggregate scores of 325 this year.
“After he scored 303 sometime in 2021, ranking him a high performing candidate in Kogi State, he was offered Anatomy instead of Medicine & Surgery he applied to study with the University of Ilorin, Kwara State.
“He reluctantly accepted the offer of admission, but with a goal to someday aspire to study his dream course of Medicine & Surgery.
“Presently a 200 level student of Anatomy, he realized that it was sacrosanct to pursue his dream career to become a Neuro-Surgeon like the world renowned Surgeon, Benjamin Carson.
“This is the reason he sat for this year 2025 UTME/JAMB again, breaking the table as one of the best candidates in Nigeria and representing Kogi State with an aggregate scores of 325 in English Language, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology,” the statement said.
Explaining why he deserves to be granted scholarship, Olowo who is the Host of Youths Got Talent (YGT), disclosed that Success lost his biological father in a ghastly motor accident while on a business trip from Kabba to Lagos a few years ago, leaving the wife who is a road side provision-seller, to care for him and three other siblings.
“An investment into Success Oluwaseun Adeniyi’s career would without doubt bring a rewarding gains to Kogi State and our dear nation in the unforeseeable future,” he said.
Anyone with the milk of human kindness flowing in him is directed to contact the Chairman on his mobile phone numbers: 08034633490 and 08076228805.
