Okafor Ofiebor/Port Harcourt

It was a glorious Christmas for 12 years old Nengi Jaja on Sunday as the Rivers Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike offered him a lifetime scholarship for his spectacular musical performance during the Thanksgiving Service in honour of Prince Uche Secondus.

The scholarship worth N40million will cover the education of Master Jaja from Secondary School up to University Level, Wike said while announcing the Scholarship at the State Ecumenical Centre in Port Harcourt where the young musician performed soul lifting songs.

The governor directed the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Province 5 to open an account for the musician in liaison with his family for the purpose of his training.

He urged the church to closely monitor and guide the young musician to ensure that he fulfils his destiny.

Nengi Jaja had earlier emerged 2nd Runner Up in an international music festival where over 10000 children participated.
