Efemonghe shot into the limelight following an interview with Legit TV where the 20-year-old student of the University of Benin (UNIBEN), Edo state revealed that she always went to construction sites to get her regular "2k."

The 200L student of banking and finance, who said she was initially embarrassed after being mocked by her friends, said she was doing a labourer job to help finance her education and help her less-privileged family.

Dare said Efemonghe will be seen through the remaining years in the universities, adding that "both her tuition and accommodation bills" will be catered for.

"The Minister has committed to paying both her tuition and accommodation bills till she leaves the institution in 3 years time.

"His only requests to the 20yr old are that she should be a good representative of the youth by achieving academic excellence.
