A tweet changed the life of a high school student unable to pay for his university tuition. Omar Soliman sought help from Egyptian's billionaire Naguib Sawiris on Twitter and was surprised to receive a positive response from the business tycoon.
Sawiris agreed to pay for a Soliman's scholarship that will allow him to pursue an undergraduate degree in computer science at Nile University. In his tweet, Soliman explained that without a scholarship, he will be forced to study commerce instead.
