A 22-year-old Ochanya Cynthia Ogidi has made her family, nay, the Idoma community proud after she bagged first class from the University of Lagos.

The Otukpa-born, Ogbadibo native, while speaking exclusively with IDOMA VOICE on Thursday attributed her academic feat to God and determination.

“It is just God. I was also focused and determined. I always stayed awake at night. I read a lot and I also pray always.”
Asked how she was able to overcome school distractions, the charming girl said, “for me there was nothing like distraction. I go to church. I play with friends and I do what I was supposed to do. You will only get distracted when you want to,” she said.
On why she chose to study maths, Ogidi said, “mathematics is interesting. I wonder why many people hate it. I see it as the simplest subject. I enjoy it a lot because we did mostly abstract stuffs,” the elated young woman told IDOMA VOICE on phone.
