Miss Jessica Okonye, a Junior Secondary School One teenager, has gained ‘admission’ into Delta State’s Admiralty University of Nigeria, Ibusa as an auditor student.
Chief John Alizor, a retired American university professor, had discovered little Okonye to be exceptionally brilliant at a shop where she served as an intern.
Amazed by her level of intelligence, the retired Professor took interest in her and began mentoring her.

The professor further gave her academic assignments and then the eventual ‘auditorship admission.’
Before then, she was examined by the leadership of the university, who in their remarks, credited her academic abilities.
Confirming this via the school Facebook page, the Vice Chancellor, Professor Paul Omojo Omaji said:
“The Vice Chancellor admitted that Jessica is a brilliant child. He added that, pending when further checks on Jessica’s ability to cope with the rigours of being a university student without the completion of her post-primary education are concluded, ADUN can admit her into the school as an auditor.”
He further explained that an auditor in this case is a person “admitted” to participate in university lectures without necessarily aiming at coming out with certificate awards.
“Jessica has come to the right place as a first choice centre for her academic pursuit as leadership is the central focus of our institution,” Omaji again said.
