Edo State Deputy Governor Dennis Idahosa gifts N1 million to Delight Amayaenvbo after she scores straight As in the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE/WAEC), according to reports. The student is publicly recognized for her top performance.
The outlets describe the gesture as a reward intended to encourage academic excellence in Edo State. Both sources frame the cash gift as motivation for other students and youths, linking the deputy governor’s support to improved performance in school examinations. While the coverage uses similar details, wording differs slightly between outlets (with one referring to WASSCE and the other to WAEC), but the core facts—the recipient, the deputy governor, the straight As result, and the N1 million amount—match.
No additional information is provided in the reports about how the student was selected for the reward beyond her examination results, or about whether similar incentives exist in Edo State.
