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

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 Engr. David Umahi while serving as Governor of Ebonyi State.
