Rotimi Kukoyi, a brilliant Nigerian teenager has been given admission offers into 15 top universities in the United State Of America.
A brilliant Nigerian teenager, Rotimi Kukoyi, has been celebrated online for his academic success. He was accepted into more than 15 universities.
Some of the schools included Harvard and John Hopkins. He has also been given more than $2 million (N830,580,000) in scholarship offers, Good Morning America reports.
He told ABC News he was inspired to apply to a number of places after appearing on the “Jeopardy!” Teen Tournament as a freshman in 2018, and meeting high achieving students from across the country.
On his encounter then, he revealed: “A lot of them are older and they’re like seniors or juniors that applied to many prestigious schools a lot of them are attending prestigious universities now. So that was kind of my original inspiration to apply to those universities.”
Out of the scholarship offers he got, the Nigerian boy decided to go with the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Rotimi wants to pursue a course in public health at the university. The young boy is also a soccer star in school. He added that he wants his success to inspire people who are also chasing their own goals.
