His WAEC subjects include data processing, economics, civic education, English language, and further mathematics.
Also, Justin sat for mathematics, chemistry, physics, and computer studies.
David, a source knowledgeable about Justin's academic prowess, told YEN.com.gh in a short chat that he also scored 344 in his JAMB-UTME.
David said:
"He hails from the South-South. Itsekiri tribe of Delta state. He was also selected by one of the best universities in the US to receive a scholarship: University of California, Berkeley. Berkeley has one of the smallest acceptance rates in the world which means he no only got admission but distinguished himself enough to receive a scholarship."
The University of California, Berkeley, also listed Justin on its website as one of the recipients of its African American Initiative Scholarship.
The school says:
"Eworitsewarami loves working and connecting with like-minded people. His journey is only just beginning, and Eworitsewarami can’t wait to see what the future beholds."
