Ekuma Jeremiah, the Lagos hawker caught in a viral video giving out money to inmates in a Correctional Service van in Ajah, has received a letter of scholarship from businessman and socialite Obi Cubana.
Cubana, on his Instagram page, disclosed that one Mr & Mrs Afuah, based in Canada, has placed Jeremiah on a N100,000 monthly salary till he finishes his education.

His gesture earned widespread commendation from many Nigerians.
