Gov. Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State has approved an increment of 100 per cent on bursary payable to students of Lagos State origin in tertiary institutions across the country.

Gov. Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State has approved an increment of 100 per cent on bursary payable to students of Lagos State origin in tertiary institutions across the country.

The Executive Secretary, of Lagos State Scholarship Board, Mr Abdur Rahaman Lekki said in a statement on Sunday that the increment would take effect from the 2022/ 2023 academic session.

Lekki said that he had already informed representatives of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) Lagos State Chapter, and the National Union of Lagos State Students (NULASS) at a meeting at Alausa, Ikeja.

He said that the meeting was held at the instance of the Special Adviser to Governor Sanwo- Olu on Education, Mr Tokunbo Wahab.

Lekki said that the meeting had in attendance, the presidents and some executive members of both the two students union bodies, NANS and NULAS and representatives of the state government.

He said that the 100 per cent bursary increment and other benefits were aimed at supporting the educational needs of students of Lagos state origin, to let them cope with the present economic reality.

Lekki also disclosed that the government at the just concluded State Economic Summit known as ”Ehingbeti Summit” had approved the resolutions on the establishment of Lagos Diaspora Scholarship Fund.

According to him, the scholarship fund is aimed at providing scholarship and bursary benefits generally to all Lagos state resident students in tertiary institutions, in any part of the country, to support their education.

He appealed to the students over a little delay in the payment of the remaining 2020/2021 and 2021/2022 bursary/ scholarship

NULASS is the best! Well done my Governor!

The students must study and work hard in both learning and character to earn excellent grades to justify this tax payers expense on them.

It is not free lunch but an investment in your life and future. Face your studies, quit the unproductive idleness on social media and show great character both offline and online. Do not be arrogant and rude please except you want to destroy your life.

That knowledge you get today must add value to Lagos and someday when we call.on you to give back to Lagos, please do not think twice because to whom much is given, much is expected. Be an Omoluabi and it will be well with you.

Lagos is the best! Please invest in Lagos today.

Of the total domestic debt owed by the 36 states in Nigeria, 28% is owed by Lagos.

Of the total external debt owed by the 36 states in Nigeria, 15% is owed by Lagos.

Guess what a 100% increment will do this debt profile?

Production not consumption.

I can't wait for this man's second term. He obviously has a lot of good plans. But doesn't want what happened to Ambode to happen to him.

Tinubu knows how to pick the best brains. He just some how wants to control them.
