Enugu State Governor, Dr. Peter Mbah has approved bursaries worth N44.1 million for 294 indigenes of the state currently studying at the seven campuses of the Nigerian Law School across the country.
Of the total beneficiaries, which were drawn from the 17 Local Government Areas (LGAs) of the state, 284 have already been verified and paid N150,000 each as part of government’s support and effort to accelerate human capital development in the state.
The governor has also awarded a scholarship of N12 million to an indigene of Ukana in Udi LGA, Miss Chidiogo Igwebuike, to train as a pilot at the Nigerian College of Aviation Technology, Zaria, Kaduna State.
Appreciating the governor, the beneficiaries, under the umbrella of the National Association of Enugu State Law Students, described the gesture as an auspicious intervention, especially against the backdrop of the challenging economic realities of the country, and commended him for his vision and commitment to educational development in the state.
In a letter by the National President of the association, Stephen Obiora; the National Secretary, Johnpaul Obisike; and the National Public Relations Officer, Uzoamaka Aguoma, they pledged to make the state proud.
