Chairman of the screening Committee, Arch. Ibrahim Kogi told Apex News Exclusive that the decision of the Honorable rep member to offered scholarship to the beneficiaries was part of his campaign promises to augment the suffering of students and to encourage academic excellence in his Constituency.
According to him 220 students who are schooling across the country in different tertiary Institutions have been shortlisted in the first batch, adding more will be captured subsequently.
“Most students cannot afford school fees and food as a result of the economic hardship that grappled the country as a result of the Covid-19 Pandemic.
“Some parents also cannot go to farm or buy fertilizer, we’re aware how some businesses crippled because of the Coronavirus,” Kogi said.
