Innoson Vehicles, a leading Nigerian automobile manufacturer, founded by Chief Innocent Chukwuma, on Monday, May 8, demonstrated its commitment to academic excellence by awarding a N3 million scholarship to Ejikeme Joy, the overall best-performing candidate in the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) for the 2023 academic year.
Newsmen noted that the gesture by Innoson Vehicles was not only a celebration of academic excellence but also a reflection of the company’s dedication to investing in the education of young Nigerians. The scholarship would go a long way in providing financial support to the 16-year-old student so she can easily pursue her tertiary education in the next five years.
Speaking during the brief ceremony at his Umudim Nnewi country home, Chief Chukwuma said his decision to award the scholarship to the best UTME candidate is not only to reward academic excellence but also to serve as an inspiration to other students to strive for excellence in their academic pursuits.
Joy’s scores in English Language, Physics, Biology, and Chemistry were broken down as 98%, 89%, 94%, and 81%, respectively.
