“A 24-year-old Nigerian student has emerged the
best all round graduating student at Tokai
University, Tokyo, Japan.
Ufot Ekong, who studied Robotics and Electrical
Engineering graduated with First Class Honours.
The last time anyone graduated with a similar
Grade Points Average (GPA) was 50 years ago.
He won the best engineering student award in
the Faculty of Engineering at the undergraduate
category, as well as the university president’s
prestigious award for the best all-round student.
Mr. Ekong also won Japanese language award
for foreigners and solved a mathematical
equation that could not be solved for the past 30
years in his first semester.
Aside from paying himself through school, Ufot
who is now doing his Phd, works at Nissan, has
two patented products.
For his project, he made an electric car that
goes as fast as 128 kilometres per hour.
The car drives on charged batteries. He plans to
drive it May 29, in Abuja, Nigeria to celebrate
Buhari’s inauguration.
He speaks English, Yoruba, French and
Japanese.
Mr. Ufot Ekong, a multi-talented Nigerian youth,
has artistry in music, specialising in Saxophone.
He distinguished himself from the outset in the
school when he won the Japanese language best
student award.
The self-sponsored student, who combined two
jobs with studies, won many other awards in the
University, altogether numbering about six.
Ufot, who lived in Lagos while in Nigeria, is a
Saxophone master and the director of Strictly
African Japan, an African retail wears and
accessories shop”
