A United States-based Nigerian hydrogen specialist, Dr Michael Taiwo, has rewarded three Nigerian students who won gold medals at the International STEM Olympiad in Rome, Italy, with ₦1m.
Taiwo made the pledge in a post on X on Tuesday, and later fulfilled it, after the students’ feat was announced by education advocate, Alex Onyia.
Reacting to Onyia’s announcement of the students’ victory on X, Taiwo wrote, “This is an impressive achievement. Congratulations. I will be gifting these lads with 1M. Please DM me the bank details.”
Onyia had earlier disclosed that the Nigerian team, made up of Chimdiebube Onwubiko, Don Anele Munachimso and Egejurum Onyedikachi, clinched a total of four gold medals at the competition.
