JUBA — South Sudan’s First Vice President Dr. Riek Machar Teny on Monday met  and secured a Chinese scholarship for 2020/2021 best-performing student who had appealed for financial help, according to one of the the first vice president’s aide.

Obuny Okech, 21, obtained 95.1 per cent in the 2020/2021 secondary examination, but failed to enroll at a university due to financial problems.

Obuny recently appealed for help, saying he pushed himself to get good grades in secondary exam to propel himself to higher chances of winning a scholarship but eventually didn’t get a seat for unknown reasons.

“I tried the Egyptian scholarship, but the result are not yet out, so am still waiting. Up to now, such a thing did not happen at all, and never ever did they come to me like you’re the best student or anything, they didn’t talk,” Obuny said recently.

“Currently what I want is that, if I could get an opportunity to get a scholarship no matter where it’s. I just want to join a university as soon as possible, because it has been long, I stay two years without going to university, and that’s waste of time,” he added.

In a statement, Gordon Yien Gordon, close aide to First Vice President Machar said  Machar met on Monday with the student and was able to secure a scholarship seat for him to study medicine in China.

“The country’s leading students for the year 2020/2021 Secondary School Examinations, Student Joseph Obweng has earned scholarship to China,” Gordon said.

“The office of the First Vice President in collaboration with the ministry of Foreign affairs and international cooperation have been involved to secured Joseph the scholarship to China,” he added.

He revealed that “Joseph will travel to China in October this year, and he is going to study Medicine because he wanted to become a doctor.”

“H.E the First Vice President, Dr Riek Machar Teny-Dhurgon received Joseph in his office on Monday SEP 5, 2022, and encouraged him to continue his education.”
