A photo of the book’s cover was also shared online, drawing widespread attention.

Hours after his story gained traction, EduCare awarded Chidera a lifetime scholarship.

In addition to sponsoring his education, the organization will publish his book on Amazon and provide him with full support.

The initial post introducing Chidera read: “Meet Nigeria’s youngest author, Chidera Ikeoha, who wrote a book in Primary 6 and went from park to park selling it in Enugu.”

A follow-up update later announced: “Update: Chidera Ikeoha has been awarded a lifetime scholarship by EduCare. His book will be listed on Amazon, and he’d be taken off the streets to focus on his education.”
