Independent UK reports
A Nigerian student has broken a 30-year-old maths equation and achieved the highest grades at a university in Japan for 50 years.
Ufot Ekong, who studied at Tokai University in Tokyo, achieved a first class degree in electrical engineering and scored the best marks at the university since 1965, the Flotilla Magazine reported.
He began his success early at the university, solving a 30-year-old maths equation in his first semester.
Throughout
his university career Mr Ekong has won six awards for academic
excellence. The brilliant mathematician worked two jobs alongside his
studies to pay his way as a student.
Mr
Ekong also speaks English, French, Japanese and Yoruba and won a
Japanese language award for foreigners. He is currently working for
Nissan and already has two patents for electronic car design to his
name.
Tokai University is a prestigious private
university based in the Japanese capital, which was founded in 1924. It
is focused on the sciences and technology and roughly 60 per cent of
all students are enrolled in these schools.
