A student under the scholarship programme
of the Presidential Amnesty Programme
(PAP), Eric Yanyangbini, has emerged the
best male graduate of Oba Erediauwa
College of Law, Igbinedion University (IU),
Okada, Edo State.











Yanyangbini, who obtained his first degree
over 15 years ago from the former Ondo
State University, Ado-Ekiti (now Ekiti State
University), shared the top spot of the
graduating law class with the best female
graduate, Ukuroma Ada Sambo, at the
2014/2015 Valedictory Session of the Law
College, last Saturday at the university’s
auditorium in Okada town.











In a chat with newsmen after his
conferment with the award, the Arogbo-
Ijaw, Ondo State-born law graduate urged
the Federal Government, under the
leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari,
not to scrap the PAP, to allow other
beneficiaries of the scholarship and other
programmes of the amnesty conclude their
programmes and achieve re-integration into
the society.












While making the plead, Yanyangbini noted
that it would be a waste of resources for the
country and big loss to the affected students
if the programme were stopped mid-way, as
many of the students would not be able to
afford the school fees of their various
private universities, where they are currently
undergoing studies.













“Let me use this medium to thank the
Federal Government of Nigeria, through the
Amnesty Office, for giving me and my
colleagues the very unique opportunity to
obtain university education through the
scholarship programme of PAP.













“I will equally urged our new President,
Muhammadu Buhari, to continue with this
laudable programme in order to allow the
beneficiaries of the amnesty programme
conclude their studies and vocation so that
the money spent on them so far will not be
a waste.













“In this university alone (IU), about 500
students are currently enjoying the
scholarship programme from the Amnesty
Office, not to talk of other private
universities, both home and abroad, which
will make it pretty difficult for the parents of
these students to meet their financial
obligations if the scholarship programme
suddenly stops,” he said.











Yanyangbini also thanked the Federal
Government for the opportunity of fulfilling
his dream of becoming a lawyer after he
graduated with bachelor’s degree in English
Language, adding, “I feel very happy today
to have had the opportunity to study in the
premier private university in Nigeria, and
eventually graduate as a lawyer.”
