A 10 year old Nigerian girl has been accepted in a UK university to study for a maths degree

A ten year-old Nigerian child has been accepted to start her maths degree at a British university.

Having enrolled just three weeks ago, the young girl is already at the top of her class following a 100 per cent score in a recent test.

From the early age of seven years, Esther Okade had always wanted to go to university.

“She would say, ‘mum, when am I starting?’, and go on and on and on ,” said her mother. After three years of persuasion, Esther finally got her mother to take her to university.

She began applying in August and a phone interview, an essay and a maths exam later she got accepted into the Open University in December to study for a maths degree.
