Bricklayer’s Son With Top JAMB Score Gets Scholarship To Study Software Engineering

• However, his success was not without obstacles, as his father, who works as a bricklayer, could not afford his college fees.

A young Nigerian named Idris Abdulrasheed Adeiza achieved a remarkable JAMB score of 323 in 2024 and has been awarded a sponsorship to study software engineering at the Federal University of Technology, Akure.

However, his success was not without obstacles, as his father, who works as a bricklayer, could not afford his college fees.

The story gained traction on X (formerly Twitter), where a Nigerian man shared Idris’s determination to continue his education despite the financial hardships.

In his initial post, he wrote, “Idris Abdulrasheed Adeiza is from Kogi State. He scored 323 in JAMB 2024, making him the second-highest in Kogi State. His dad is a bricklayer and his mother a trader. He had no hopes of continuing education because no one could fund it. He was already considering learning a trade.”

“I spoke with him a few minutes ago and have committed to supporting his education journey through the university. He wants to study Chemical Engineering at FUT Minna, and I pray he succeeds well,” he continued. “He is a star, and the world will celebrate him someday.”

Later, the man updated his followers with uplifting news: “Idris’s dream has come to pass. He has been offered admission to study software engineering at the Federal University of Technology, Akure. I will support him through his journey until he finishes. Through him, his generation will be liberated.”

The post received a lot of support and positive feedback, as many people shared their thoughts and encouragement in the comments, praising Idris’s strength and looking forward to his future achievements.
