Nollywood Actor, Williams Uchemba Adopts 18-Year-Old Carpenter, Grants Him University Scholarship

Nollywood actor and comedian, Williams Uchemba has revealed that he adopted an 18-year-old carpenter identified as Demola and granted him a university scholarship.

The philanthropic actor disclosed this on his Instagram page, while narrating his encounter with the young man and how he came up with his latest decision.

“A few days ago I went to a furniture store to make some furniture for my ongoing projects and when they took me to the workshop, I saw this young man Demola who was one of the carpenters but as an apprentice,” he wrote.

“I asked him some questions and realized that he is a very smart young boy, so I invited him to my house to know more about him. He is 18 years of age, has finished secondary school (with good grades), and would love to study Economics in the University but can’t further his education because he doesn’t have a sponsor to put him through school.

“So today I decided to adopt Demola not only to sponsor him through school but to mentor him with the knowledge and other information that has made me who I am today, till he becomes the man God destined him to be. Say hello to my new son 😊.”

KanyiDaily had also reported how the actor, Williams Uchemba rented an apartment for a cripple mother of seven identified as Patricia.
