Somtochi Amuche Bags First Class Engineering Degree At Futo

Somtochi Stella Amuche is a lady amongst men that broke the jinx by defying all the potential barriers and tunneled out on top. She is a perfect definition of beauty with brain.

She is a gem, and a shinning light among bright Nigerian ladies who are changing the narrative about women.

Somtochi recently bagged a first class degree in the Engineering Department of the prestigious institution.

In a field predominantly dominated by men, the delectable Somtochi proved herself with the popular saying that “what a man can do, a woman can do it better.”

The first class engineering graduate is the second child of Dr. Onyekwere Okpara, a former Rector of Abia State Polytechnic and Mrs. Chinwe Ijeoma Okpara a Banker,

Somtochi is a superb combination of beauty and brain and she must also be one of the brilliant women on earth to have achieved such academic feat in a highly technical field such as Engineering at FUTO.

That is not only all. She started her journey to getting a degree in Electrical Engineering six years ago when she emerged as the best graduating student from the Regina Pacis College, Abuja with 8 A’s (Distinction ) in the 2015 West African Examination Council.

Somto receiving commendations from the Principal, Regina Pacis College in 2015 as the over all Best Student.

In the same 2015, Somtochi’s academic prowess was recognised when she received the National University Commission Award in excellence as the best graduating secondary school student in the Federal Capital Territory.

Somto in 2015 as the valedictorian/Best Graduating Student in FCT, Abuja.

In May 2019, her brilliance was again recognised as she was among the nine exceptionally gifted students picked randomly globally to participate in the Google Andela Learning Community (ALC) Programme in Information Communications Technology/Artificial Intelligence.

The programme was held in Mountain View, California, United States.

    I don’t know who you are but please always get your facts right and stop spunning Bullshit! I graduated in 2010 with a first class in my department of engineering and following year had same! Stop giving out fake news in the name of wanting to make money!

  • Reginald

    Get your facts well, there were female EEE first class graduates even from last academic session

  • Ifeconastar

    Get your damn facts well. Females have been graduating with first class in Engineering particularly from my department EEE in FUTO

  • Chidi

    Please, this is wrong… as a FUTO graduate, I know several female engineering first class graduates. I graduated in 1999, and I know others (females) before and after us who made first class in Nigeria. This one is not sellable in the light of the PR stunts displayed here.
    May be if you say she is the first 5/5 CGPA graduate…. ???????????????? I will take it and verify later.

  • Kc

    Congratulations to her

  • Buchi

    If it’s EEE then it’s very possible, but I don’t believe she’s the first female to graduate with first in EEE FUTO, it’s a common thing in that department.

  • Chisom

    I am a student of FUTO and this right here, isn’t true…By the way, why are you not talking about OSIGWE HENRY CHISOM, the best graduating student in the whole of FUTO, with a 4.96GP, first in FUTO’s history…????

  • Vikki

    I don’t think the writer said she is the first in futo. I read this article over and over again. What I understand is that she achieved first class degree in her department and for that year(2021) so congratulations dear greater heights. And we will love to see more young ladies with beauty and brain in every career.
