LAGOS STATE GOVERNMENT AWARDS SCHOLARSHIP TO 340 STUDENTS

No fewer than 340 indigenous students of Lagos State, studying in tertiary institutions across the state will on 5 October be awarded scholarships worth N20 million, by the Youth of All Nations (YOANEA) in partnership with the state Government.
The scholarships, according to Jeff Echezona Joshua, are
aimed at encouraging people to go to school as well as alleviating the sufferings some indigent students go through.
He explained that education remains one of the vital tools for society’s development and called on stakeholders to always mobilise their wards to acquire valuable knowledge, regardless of the challenges involved.
“After much analysis, we also discovered that some political wards do not have enough representation in terms of students pursuing higher education across the country. We challenge every stakeholder in the affected areas to mobilize their people to check the non-enrolment problem,” he added.
