Celebrating Greatness: CYNTHIA ONWUCHURUBA


Cynthia is Igbo...she is from Imo State and she is not on death row for trafficking drugs to Indonesia.
Another betta Igbo pikin worth celebrating.
First class graduate. Super mathematician. Philanthropist.
If this tiny 23 year old can do this, our political leaders should hide themselves in total shame.
These are the same things they boast of as achievements despite the enormous finance they control.
A serving batch B National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) corps member at the Federal Government Girls College, Abuloma, Cynthia Onwuchuruba commissioned a block of four (4) toilets and a borehole at CSS, Abuloma.
So this was not even Cynthia's place of primary assignment. She just happened to visit and decided to do something to help them.
“I Felt Responsible For Them”

“I was highly motivated when I knew the effect and impact the unavailability of these facilities has in the lives of the students, educationally, psychologically, mentally and health-wise,” Cynthia said.
“I was hunted with the dangers they were exposed to and I felt a sense of responsibility towards them. Today, I am very happy and fulfilled.”
Cynthia is a recipient of the Future Africa Leaders Award (FALA) and an Associate Fellow of Royal Commonwealth Society due to the positive impact and development she has in the lives of many people. As a 100 level student, she held free extra moral classes for over 200 students in 2009 at the Prescience Campus of Nnamdi Azikiwe University.


Cynthia was born on 29th January 1992 into the Onwuchuruba family of Amaigbo in Nwangele Local Government Area of Imo State. She graduated with a first class honours in Mathematics from the Nnamdi Azikiwe University Awka, Anambra State and also was the best graduating student from her department in 2013.
