GENIUS: Nigerian student solves 30-year-old maths equation

A Nigerian student has broken a 30-year-old maths equation and
achieved the highest grades at a university in Japan for 50 years.

Ufot Ekong, who studied at Tokai University in Tokyo, achieved a
first class degree in electrical engineering and scored the best marks
at the university since 1965, the Flotilla Magazine reported.

He began his success early at the university, solving a 30-year-old maths equation in his first semester.

Throughout his university career Mr Ekong has won six awards for academic excellence.

The brilliant mathematician worked two jobs alongside his studies to pay his way as a student.

Mr Ekong also speaks English, French, Japanese and Yoruba and won a
Japanese language award for foreigners. He is currently working for
Nissan and already has two patents for electronic car design to his
name.

Tokai University is a prestigious private university based in the
Japanese capital, which was founded in 1924. It is focused on the
sciences and technology and roughly 60 per cent of all students are
enrolled in these schools.
