SPECIAL REPORT: Education Revolution in the South East – Alex Onyia Leads 10,000+ Students in Landmark Maths Olympiad


ENUGU, Nigeria – A massive wave of academic enthusiasm is sweeping across the five South Eastern states as over 10,990 students participated in a regional Maths Olympiad mock examination today. The initiative, spearheaded by Alex Onyia, CEO of Educare and widely known as the "Sultan of Software," is being hailed as one of the largest academic movements in the region's history.

The mock exercise serves as a critical final rehearsal for the fully Computer-Based Test (CBT) main exam scheduled for Saturday, February 28, 2026.


Transforming Failure into Focus

The movement began following a dismal performance by youth in Onyia's home village during the last JAMB exams, where over 70% of candidates failed. Refusing to wait for government intervention, Onyia took the challenge head-on, launching this scaled educational initiative to ensure history does not repeat itself.


Highlights of the Movement

• Massive Participation: 10,990 students from across Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu, and Imo states.

• Tech-Driven Excellence: The competition is 100% CBT, preparing students for modern global standards of examination.

• Infrastructure for Learning: Photos from the mock centers show rows of students engaged with the "South East Maths Olympiad" platform, supported by dedicated supervisors.

• Private Sector Leadership: Convened by Alex Onyia through Educare, demonstrating the power of indigenous tech leadership in reviving regional education.


Regional Outlook

This "Education Scaled" approach aims to restore the South East’s reputation for academic rigor. By providing a platform for competitive testing ahead of national exams, the initiative is building confidence and technical proficiency in thousands of secondary school learners.

As the region looks toward the main showdown this Saturday, the air is thick with anticipation. For Infocity News, this represents more than just a contest; it is a blueprint for how private citizens can bridge the gap in Nigeria’s education sector.

In a press release signed by the Executive Director, Fr.

According to the Centre, nowhere in Bishop Kukah’s comments did he diminish the seriousness of faith-based persecution in Nigeria. Instead, it reaffirmed that the Bishop has consistently highlighted the alarming rise in targeted attacks on Christian com...
