Minister of Works, Sen. David Umahi, has offered a university scholarship to Victor Obasi who was Ebonyi’s highest scorer in the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
The scholarship offer is contained in a statement signed by Umahi’s Senior Special Assistant (SSA) on Media, Francis Nwaze, and made available to newsmen in Abakaliki.
