SOUTH African-based Nigerian businessman, Charles Awuzie, has purchased the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) forms for the 2024 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) for 100 Nigerian orphans below 21 years of age to study some selected courses in Nigerian universities.
The cybersecurity expert and co-founder of the Transhuman Coin (THC), through his verified Facebook page, showed proof of payment of some of the beneficiaries he had paid for their JAMB forms.
He added that the beneficiaries must possess the academic requirements to study the courses − which he considered futuristic and globally relevant courses − and also meet the requirements of the Nigerian universities offering them.
He listed the courses as Genetics and Biotechnology at the University of Calabar, Akwa Ibom State University, and the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN), as well as Computing and Artificial Intelligence at Hillside University of Science and Technology, Ekiti State.
Others are, Cybersecurity at the Canadian University Abuja, the Federal University of Technology Owerri (FUTO), the Federal University of Technology Akure (FUTA), Delta State University (DELSU), and Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH), Oyo State.
Intelligence and Security Studies at the Afe Babalola University (ABUAD), Ekiti State; Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA), Kaduna State; Ekiti State University (EKSU), and Novena University, Delta State.
He stated that whoever gets the highest score from among those he purchased the JAMB forms for will receive some monetary gifts from him.
According to Awuzie, his intention of assisting the less privileged is because he believes that the new Nigeria will rise through education, adding, “To me, investing in science and technology in Nigeria is the best bet anyone, organisation or government can make.”
He advised those currently under his school fees programme in the country to make good use of the opportunity and study hard to distinguish themselves.
He stated that, in coming weeks, he will update the public on the universities under the Transhuman Coin (THC) research funds and the work they are doing.
