Independent UK reports...
A Nigerian student has broken a 30-year-old
maths equation and achieved the highest
grades at a university in Japan for 50 years.
Ufot Ekong, who studied at Tokai University in
Tokyo, achieved a first class degree in
electrical engineering and scored the best
marks at the university since 1965, the Flotilla
Magazine reported.
He began his success early at the university, solving
a 30-year-old maths equation in his first semester.
Throughout his university career Mr Ekong has won
six awards for academic excellence. The brilliant
mathematician worked two jobs alongside his
studies to pay his way as a student.
Mr Ekong also speaks English, French, Japanese and
Yoruba and won a Japanese language award for
foreigners. He is currently working for Nissan and
already has two patents for electronic car design to
his name.
Tokai University is a prestigious private university
based in the Japanese capital, which was founded in
1924. It is focused on the sciences and technology
and roughly 60 per cent of all students are enrolled
in these schools.
