The Chairman, Abia State House of Assembly Committee on Public Service Matters, Hon Erondu Uchenna-Erondu has rejoiced with Ncheta Mbaraonye for emerging the overall best candidate for the West Africa Senior School Certificate Examination 2023 May/June examination.
Hon Uchenna-Erondu disclosed this Saturday while speaking with journalists in Umuahia, the state capital following the announcement of the result by the examination body.
The lawmaker who is representing Obingwa West said he is most grateful to God that the youth, who is from his constituency, distinguished himself by coming top on the list of over 1.5 million candidates who sat for the examination.
“Master Ncheta Mbaraonye has made the constituency, the Ngwa nation, the state and the South East zone in general very proud by his excellent performance of scoring A1 in nine subjects,” he said.
Uchenna-Erondu further urged Mbaraonye to sustain the remarkable performance through hard-work, focus, and dedication and prayed to God to grant him more wisdom for his future academic pursuits.
He then called on youths in the state to follow the footsteps of their 16-year-old counterpart to strive for excellence in their various endeavours, while arguing that success is a choice and not a gift.
Master Mbaraonye is the last child of a seasoned industrialist and business mogul based in the state, Evans Mbaraonye who hails from Itungwa, Obingwa Local Government Area.
