Imo Guber Aspirant, Uche Nwosu, Awards Scholarship To 20-Year Old Who Constructed A Car

A 20-year old man named Kenneth Akobundu, who constructed a car, has started enjoying the benefit of his contraption.

This happened as the former Imo State Chief of Staff, Ugwumba Uche Nwosu, awarded him a scholarship.

According to a post on Facebook, the politician saw video clips of Akobundu’s aeronautical craft and vowed to ensure that the lad fulfills his dream of becoming a mechanical engineer.

Nwosu sent an aide to track down Akobundu in his hometown in Umuezeala in Ehime Mbano, Imo State.

He later spoke to Akobundu’s family on the phone when his aide eventually tracked him.

Speaking to the family on the phone, Nwosu expressed his desire to be part of Akobundu’s success.

Nwosu said, “I have therefore taken it upon myself to train him in the university and ensure he imparts his world with his technical knowhow. Such talent is rarely and in a world where science and technology rules, Kenneth is destined for greatness.”
