Oghenerukevwe Patrick Esemitodje, a 17-year-old senior secondary school (SSS2) at Nigerian tulip international college (NTIC), will represent Nigeria at this year’s Pan African mathematics olympiad (pamo) and international mathematics olympiad (imo).
The two events are set to take place in May and July 2023, respectively.
Despite his poor health on that day, the managing director of Ntic, Fezhullah Bilgin, said Oghenerukevwe had attended both the senior mathematics and senior informatics exams earlier this year.
“When the results were announced, he matriculated for the second round of both tests,” he wrote.
He was the only one among all ntic ogun students to sit for two examinations, he said.
After the publication of the results, he said that it was only Rukevwe who wrote two examinations in the first round and qualified in both subjects for the second round in Lagos state.
