Oborevwori approves automatic scholarships for best graduating students in Delta-owned universities

Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori has approved automatic scholarship awards for the best graduating students across the four state-owned universities, in a move aimed at strengthening academic excellence and supporting youth development.

The Delta State Bursary and Scholarship Board announced that its Executive Secretary, Dr. Godfrey Enita, stated the gesture exemplifies the Governor’s strong commitment to empowering youth through the M.O.R.E. Agenda, especially in human capital development.

According to the Board, the automatic scholarship scheme will benefit the Best Graduating Student from each academic session in the following state-owned institutions: Delta State University, Abraka; Southern Delta University, Ozoro; University of Delta, Agbor, and Dennis Osadebay University, Asaba.

Dr. Enita explained that each awardee would receive full funding to pursue Masters and Ph.D programmes in recognized Nigerian universities.

He noted that beneficiaries would be required to complete the standard scholarship procedures and documentation to access the awards.

He added that the initiative underscored the state government’s determination to raise a highly skilled, globally competitive youth population capable of contributing to Delta State’s long-term growth.

“The Board remains committed to creating opportunities that uplift our students and encourage academic distinction,” Enita assured.

The new scholarship policy is expected to further motivate undergraduates across the state-owned institutions to strive for excellence, while positioning Delta State as a leading hub for educational advancement in Nigeria.

How about polytechnics and college of education?

If you think those ain't institutions then government should close them up.


Everything about this country is just wrong

VISIONLESS GOVERNOR
A CLASSICAL EXAMPLE OF BAD GOVERNANCE

Focusmind:
They would not like it

They would have preferred foreign universities in the US or UK or any western country than local universities

Most brilliant Nigerians are always unwilling to further their studies in the Nigerian universities

Most hustle for foreign-based scholarships to study in a foreign university.

Even me sef, I won't be favorably disposed to furthering my education in Nigeria after graduating with First class

Exactly my thought too.

While it's commendable that we are promoting our own educational institutions, how about elites sending their own children outside the country to study? What message is that communicating to the people?

Automatic scholarship for masters or for another undergraduate?
Governor please be specific
