So, minus the IT (ICT) and LAW Disciplines, no scholarship for other disciplines... Why must some disciplines be left out. If people graduate with First Class Degrees from their universities, the least the country (and government) should do is open up scholarship avenues and other opportunities to empower them. Establishing the scholarship scheme is a good move but other disciplines should not be shortchanged...
