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.
