The Governor of Edo State, Senator Monday Okpebholo, has approved the sum of ₦1 billion as bursary support for students of Edo State origin in tertiary institutions across the country.
Governor Okpebholo made the pronouncement as part of his automatic granting of the request of the youths, during a town hall meeting with young people, for the introduction of bursaries to assist Edo indigenes pursuing higher education in various institutions nationwide.
The approval of the bursary is expected to become an annual program designed to ease the financial burden on students and their families.
Governor Okpebholo said that eligibility for the bursary will be based on proper verification through the applicant’s Local Government of Origin to ensure that only genuine indigenes of the State benefit from the scheme.
The Governor emphasized that the initiative aligned with his administration’s broader vision to enhance access to quality education, encourage academic excellence and support the aspirations of Edo youths to contribute meaningfully to the development of the State and the nation.
A statement today, July 6 by the Governor’s spokesperson, Fred Itua, said that further details on application procedures and timelines will be made available by the various relevant government agencies.
