He added that the cash gift wasn't presented earlier because Kamsiyochukwu was taking her National Examination Council (NECO) exams and post-UTME, and they didn't want to distract her.

Photos he shared showed the girl and her parents posing at TVC Communications with him as they received the cheque of the reward which was increased to N150k.

He praised the UTME top scorer as a child of grace and an epitome of solid upbringing.

An excerpt from his post reads:

"I promised a monetary gift of one hundred thousand naira on behalf of Journalists Hangout to Kamsiyochukwu, the real Most Valuable Player, (MVP) in the examination. We couldn't present her with the gift before now because she had been writing NECO and post-UTME and we didn't want to distract her.

"...However, on Sunday the 30th of July, 2023, Kamsiyochukwu's dad, Uzonna, led her and other members of his young family to TVC Communications to receive her cheque. They came in just after that day's episode of Journalists Hangout had been put to bed.
