As part of the government’s effort towards improving on the quality of education in Lagos state, a member of the Senate Committee on Education, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, (ACN Lagos Central), recently presented a cheque of N108 million to the Lagos State University (LASU) as grant from Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFUND).

This was disclosed by the Media Officer of the institution, Jerry Olatunbosun in Lagos.

Olatunbosun said that the money was meant for the development of the institution.

Despite the fact that the university was located outside Senator Remi Tinubu’s constituency, she said she gave the grant as a sign of love.

She said, “The bond between us, the senators representing the state at the National Assembly is a strong one that cannot be thwarted by allocations.

“We agreed on the grant; it could be the turn of another Senatorial district to make concession for my district or another tomorrow.”

The senator commended her colleagues in the Senate, for supporting her in ensuring that the special intervention grant was given to the institution.

Olatunbosun said that Sen. Ganiyu Olarewaju, (ACN Lagos West) accompanied Tinubu to present the
cheque.

He said that the Vice-Chancellor, Professor John Obafunwa, assured that the fund would be spent judiciously.http://www.osundefender.org/?p=92272

babyosisi: Lagos state money given to Lagos state uni
Praise God


Who is being deceived?

SENATOR Oluremi Tinubu has announced the launch of the Lagos Central Senatorial Districts’ Post-Secondary School Scholarship Scheme (PSSS).

The scheme is in line with the manifesto of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), which gives priority to education.

Briefing journalists at the Yaba Local Council Development Area (LCDA) Secretariat in Lagos yesterday, Mrs. Tinubu said 650 students would benefit from the scheme.

On the implementation of the PSSS programme, she said: “We are beginning with the selection of 650 students. Two beneficiaries from each of the five local government areas and eight LCDAs in the Lagos Central Senatorial district are to receive yearly sum of N100, 000 towards financing their university education over a period of four years. In addition, the 624 applicants left will receive a bursary award of N10, 000 each towards defraying the cost of buying their books.”

The lawmaker said once the new academic session begins, fresh students could take their admission letters and credible evidence of registration to the office of their council or LCDA chairman before a preliminary interview process. Each of these 13 offices has been given 50 forms for potential beneficiaries.http://ngrguardiannews.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=58097:remi-tinubu-to-give-650-students-scholarships&catid=1:national&Itemid=559
