Rt. Hon. Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru @FrancisNwifuru

Yesterday, with great joy and pride, we flagged off our historic initiative, the 2024/2025 Ebonyi State Scholarship programme, marking it with the departure of 204 Ebonyians to the United Kingdom and 541 other Ebonyians in various other Universities in Nigeria for their Masters and Doctorate degree programs.

This celebration is not just an investment in education, but an investment in the future of our State and no infrastructure can be bigger than this. It is an event that demonstrates our commitment to human capital development which occupies centre stage in our Government.

I urge you, our scholars, to immerse yourselves fully in your studies, embrace the cultures you encounter, and build networks that will be invaluable to your growth. But remember, your ultimate mission lies here at home. Upon completing your studies. For emphasis, we expect you to return to our State and channel your expertise into sectors that need your innovation, creativity, and leadership.

May your journey be successful and rewarding as proud ambassadors of Ebonyi State.

The Governor said that he contacted Chief Allen Onyema, the CEO of Air Peace and Chief Onyema offered to give him an aircraft to convey the 204 people to the UK. Chief Onyema said that he would have also borne all the cost if he knew about the event earlier.

Kudos to the Governor.

I pray they come back and become useful to the state and the nation.

Oyyana

Who are the people, please let us know
Where is the list of the people
Or is it audio

The government keep sponsoring invisible people abroad and yet nothing to show for it

Good one, I love you very the way this governor is focusing on human capital development of the state and not flyover alone...

This is great

They must return back to Nigeria 🇳🇬

Way to go.

can lie for Africa

I pray the outcome is positive. Nice move

The govt ca forget about them..cos they will never come back
No one gets a free opportunity to leave this Ronu-zoo will come back to Tinubu again
Govt should expect them after 2031....we all know why

This is a sign that Nigerian government will never make this country a better place. That money can be used to build a better company here and employ more graduates and undergraduate. Next will be government paying for flight fees to people going to Mecca etc. Nigeria is a failed state

Not likely that they will come back to Nigeria

90% will not return to Nigeria again.

Kudos to Ebonyi state governor, invest in human development that will inturn, shape the future of the people, the state and environs.


Congratulations to the scholars!

What amaechi did..wike came, he said they were APC Children and he stopped the scholarship

PlutoChief:

If you were in their shoes, will you come back?

The governor just poured water in a basket

Sanwo olu see your life

Ebonyi State Government:Upon completing your studies. For emphasis, we expect you to return to our State and channel your expertise into sectors that need your innovation, creativity, and leadership.

Me:

Commendable, some folks will still come here to chew Bitter kola

Welcome development

God bless Ebonyi state

God bless Nigeria

A state with less resources, doing far better than those with humonguous capital and resource.What an irony.
Kudos to the governor

This governor smile today..

Interesting..

aare07:
They must return back to Nigeria 🇳🇬

Return to do what

you know how they got the scholarship, you think it's easy connection

They've escaped Tinubu and shettima

yarimo helinues etc 75k to 70million Nigerians is coming
Your name will be there

Gone too soon!

Those sets will never return to serve their fatherland.

Why not spend those funds to upgrade just one department in a university to world standard.
