Umahi Rewards Ebonyi’s Highest JAMB Scorer With University Scholarship

The Minister of Works, Senator Engr. David Umahi, CON, has awarded a university scholarship to Obasi Victor Nnanna, the highest scorer in Ebonyi State in the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).

According to Francis Nwaze, Senior Special Assistant to the Honourable Minister of Works on Media, the scholarship offer came shortly after Senator Umahi received the exciting news of the student’s outstanding academic performance from King David Gifted Academy, a school he established during his tenure as Governor of Ebonyi State.

Expressing his joy, the Minister said: “I give God the glory. I offer scholarship to this child.”

Nnanna is a pioneer set of King David Gifted Academy, Abakaliki, an elite institution founded in 2016 by Sen. Engr. David Umahi, CON while serving as Governor of Ebonyi State. Established with a vision to create a one-stop destination for academic excellence, the school has since become a breeding ground for outstanding scholars and future leaders, attracting national recognition for its impressive academic achievements.

He scored an impressive 356 marks, emerging as the highest scorer in Ebonyi State and placing himself among the nation's brightest young minds.

Good one from the boy, I hope he replicates this in first and second year for a start.

Many of those children kept in the bush have been deprived of becoming the NEXT GREAT just because they went to school on a certain day. What a sad Irony

My brother....e tire me ohhhh

Umahi fulfilling this pledge will be a miracle.

How come we no dey hear these from the North, North no dey get high score abi na failure dem dey record.

Will the scholarship continue if he ain't in government anymore?

It seems as if this JAMB CBT is making JAMB simple, unlike when JAMB used to be hard copy. Hope there are no scientific calculators and mathematical formulas aided in built softwares in those systems used by some of these CBT centres?

If you check well, it's a corrupt system that favoured him to score highest....

The school was established by Umahi

Congrats to the guy tho

You think Umahi is an unreliable person like Tinubu. Umahi is a talk and do politician. He is not your typical Nigerian politician. The man is a performer.

SO PROUD OF YOU SON!

Please make the world and self proud by due diligence and Consistency in your Study.


We pray the immortality in the world will not find you Amen!

Kudos the future President of Nigeria, President Umahi. Congrats the great people of Ndi Ebonyi. The non Biafra part of Igboland.

Universities in your country

I hope they put it into writing o

So that it doesn't turn out like that woman who did gifts for him and claimed he was owing her and then came out with the hotel story

This is very commendable of the minister.
