Barr. Orji Uchenna Orji, a public affairs analyst and former commissioner for information and national orientation under Umahi’s administration in Ebonyi State, disclosed this in a statement he made available to LEADERSHIP.

Orji said the event took place in Lagos during Umahi’s journey to an official event at Victoria Island.

The 13-year-old, who Orji said was an SS1 student and hailed from Abia State in the Southeast of Nigeria, was reported to have aced all mathematical questions thrown at him without the use of a calculator.

The statement reads in parts: “It was a great and remarkable day for Greatness Ebisike, a highly skilled and mathematically talented chap, when he encountered the usual and rare benevolence of the Hon. Minister of Works, Federal Republic of Nigeria,  Engr. David Nweze Umahi.”

You need to see the passion, the speed, the zeal and the energy with which he tackled every question be was asked.

“The Minister of Works who also witnessed the rattling of the chap was enthused by his performance. The Minister made a gift of N10 million instantly to the talented chap to assist in furthering his education.
