S
ix exceptionally brilliant students of Ekiti origin have been given scholarship by the Ekiti State Governor to study abroad.
Tagged “Fayemi Scholars”, the scheme is separate from the Ekiti Scholarship Scheme as it is funded from the governor’s purse.
The scholarship, besides tuition, also covers feeding and accommodation.

[b]The students include Omowunmi Odetola, a First Class Law Graduate of the University of Ibadan and First Class graduate of the Nigerian Law School, who has been admitted to undertake Masters in Law at Oxford University, United Kingdom.

Igbara-Odo born Moyosore Olabimtan, a First Class Law graduate of Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, is among the lucky scholars. She has been admitted into Harvard Law School.

Another is Adebimbe Alonge from Iyin-Ekiti, First Class graduate of History and International Relations, Obafemi Awolowo University. She has been admitted into the Masters programme in Security, Leadership and Society at King’s College, University of London.

Both Peter Omotoso and Michael Ogunlade, graduates Mechanical Engineering and Electrical/Electronics. from Ladoke Akintola University and Ekiti State University respectively, will be heading to Tiantin University, China for their Masters Degree.

Segun Aluko from Erinjiyan-Ekiti, a First Class graduate of Business Administration and Management from Babcock University, on his part, will be going to the United States for his Masters programme.[/b]

Speaking on the occasion which was held today at Lady Jibowu Hall, Government House, the sponsor of the scholarship scheme, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, said his administration has made education and human capital development a central objective of its agenda.
He said the six lucky scholars were chosen from a pool of applicants who daily approach him for help.
He said although the state has a scholarship board, he is aware that the board cannot take care of everyone, hence his decision to start his personal scholarship scheme funded from his purse.

Stressing that qualification is solely based on excellence and merit, Dr. Fayemi said prospective beneficiaries of the scholarship scheme do not have to know anyone to be chosen as he strongly believes that spirit of excellence will seek them out wherever they are.

He said the objective of the scheme is to help in restoring the honour of Ekiti and bringing back the fountain of knowledge.

Good of him

I'm not impress, he was only playing to gallery.

wash! Cousin thingz

D rate at which ladies of nowadays are reading ehn,infact... Some are still running after boys. I pity dem. I envy those ladies frm my home state "fountain of knowledge"

luvmijeje: I'm not impress, he was only playing to gallery.

I can understand your cynicism but Fayemi said he chose these students from amongst those who approach him daily. This would mean that there may be many brilliant students who have secured the opportunity to study in some of the finest centres of education in the world who will be unable to take advantage if financial help is not forthcoming.

If Fayemi does his little bit and if others help out also , like businessmen and industry bosses, then many more young people would reach their potentials than is currently the case.

I understand him.. All na publicity stunt for next Ekiti election. I dey watch.

And so what? heaven should come down. What about the rest of the 2 millions left?

Look at the old men and women that got the scholarship LOL
Good one fayemi!

Double post

Gbawe, it's an indictment on him as a governor. Why can't we have an havard like school in Nigeria? Six out of thousands of youths when he has the resources at its disposal. He can do better with our money not his own.

Abeg carry your rotten bad belle go sit-down gutter. I wonder why empty-headed folks like you just open your traps when you've got nothing sensible to say.

Your post reeks of pure senselessness!!!

Mtsceeewwww!!!!

@Topic:
God bless the good governor. This personal effort of Fayemi might not really appear to be a big deal when compared with the needs of our exceptional graduates. The fact however is it is and will always be a big deal to the beneficiaries as well as their families.

If well-to do individuals can emulate Fayemi many more students will be given more opportunities to realize their full potentials.

Once more God bless the good governor.

How these fine girls take read and get 1st class... Na wa oooo!!!

Its obvious they're virgins!!!

I don't want to write that you are a fool but next time do not and I mean do not quote me if you are not quoting with sense.

I need an hypothesis to validate this statement

Nice one.

...... And next time you wish to post make sure you think very well and ensure your comment makes sense before you post else....

If from own purse hardly any need for publicity.

but why most every one need good education fly to abroad why? means we no get good education again for naija again

Kudos to the action governor

53 years after independence our best University isn't among the best 1000 in the world, yet an OLODO want Fayemi to build a University like Havard in Ekiti in less than 3 years..

Good one from Gov.Fayemi. And I hope that politics is not involve in this!


On the hand,I think,instead of sending our youth abroad of further their studies,we should strive to build world class universities in Nigeria,that would be the envy of the advanced countries. We can do it! We have the resources. It's just a lack of political will.

Instead of sending them abroad,thereby,transferring our money in the form of capital flight to other countries,let's invest massively in our educational system. Afterall,Harvard,Oxford.Cambridge,et al,didn't just became world class universities like that! It was the consistent investment by their governments in them that make them a preferred citadels of learning today!


Bottomline: with determination and political will,we can have a world class university that can compete with the likes of Harvard,Oxford,et al.

Am not impressed, instead of sending students abroad they should make our educational sector better

Someone indirectly called you a fool as old as you are and all you could do is to blow kisses?wowwww

Wakapass

The State Government is given billions of Naira every 4 weeks to manage the State, no one needs Governors mmoney, and from which purse did he get the money to sponsor 6 people abroad ? The same purse that the Federal Allocation ends up ? How can a Governor send people abroad, when state allocation of just 4 weeks is enough to transform any state university to harvard and other Ivy League schools.

It is a shame that we still have egg-heads as Governors who promote foreign studies and leave our schools to rotten. Little wonder they send all their kids abroad while we the 99% study in our universities.

Fayemi is not qualified to be a governor for this singular principle. Kudos to those 6 people who are 'lucky' to benefit from Federal Allocation from Fayemi's purse.

When you spank a lady child with the left hand, you use the right hand to draw her close. I'm sure she burst into tears after my response to her senseless post so kissing her to cool her temper isn't a bad idea in my opinion...
