Bola Ige’s Family Scholarship For Indigent Students In Osun, Oyo by study4free(m): 8:22am On Apr 18, 2016 |
The family of the late Chief Bola Ige, former Attorney General of the Federation, has announced a N29 million scholarship for indigent students of Osun and Oyo states. According to the son of the late former attorney general, Mr Olumuyiwa Ige, 66 students have been selected from public schools across the states. Ige, a former Commissioner in the state, said the students would go through a competitive selection process to choose the best of them. He stated that the scholarship is intended for students in the senior and junior secondary school categories. He explained that two students would be picked from each category. “The rationale behind this scheme is to keep the legacy of my late father alive in the area of prioritising qualitative education for children irrespective of their backgrounds and colours. “The modality of the scholarships is through giving free education worth N12 million to pupils in the junior category, which will cover their education, feeding, and accommodation from JSS 1 to SS3. “Also, in the senior category, N2.5 million worth of scholarship will be given to the two winners in the `A’ Level programme, for the duration of one year. “This will qualify them to get admission in any university around the world. “The totality of the scholarship scheme is N29 million in all – that is, N24 million for the junior category, and N5 million for the senior category. “What makes the scheme easier and effective is that our family school, the Vale College, Ibadan is where the students will enjoy the scholarships, which will make mentoring and monitoring more effective,” Ige said. The Vice-Principal of the school, Mr Billy Oladimeji, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that the selection process was on merit. He said the second stage of the scheme, was an oral test, with a view to discovering the oratory prowess of the students, the virtue in which late Bola Ige was known for in his life time. Oladimeji stated that the winners in the two categories will emerge eventually after the completion of the second stage at Ibadan.

History won't forget the atrocities Bola Ige caused in Osun State. The 29 million is useless. How about the civil servants that died during the retrenchment of workers in early 2000 under AD political party. Some children lost either their mom, dad or even both. Bola Ige, you left no good legacy, So rest in pieces wherever you are. 2 Likes |

GreenWhiteGreen:But Bola Ige was not a governor in Osun state but in old Oyo state, it was not even in year 2000 and neither did he retrenched during his tenure as Old Oyo state governor. Only God decides where a man rest but the wish of most populace of old Oyo state where he was the governor is for him to rest in peace. 6 Likes |

Johnnyessence: He was a great advocate for education in the footsteps of his mentor, the late sage, Awolowo. Many of today's elite who are OPPRESSING their fellow citizens who voted them into power would be real PAUPERS if not for the FREE education of Awo in the 50s and the UPN governors in the 80s. |

Xenchi: Don't mind the report. Just read. They have a family school. He is only accepting two students to their private family school which he valued to 24millions. Who pays 2 millions per year for secondary school? I thought he was sharing the 29m to many public students |
