Senator Saliu Mustapha Launches N200 Million University Scholarship for 200 Indigent Students
As reported by The Nation, Senator Saliu Mustapha, representing Kwara Central Senatorial District, has launched his annual university scholarship scheme, committing over N200 million to support 200 indigent students throughout their undergraduate studies.
According to a statement released by Mustapha's media office in Abuja, the scholarship beneficiaries will be selected from the four local government areas within Kwara Central Senatorial District. This initiative is expected to ease the financial burdens on families, enabling academically brilliant but financially disadvantaged students to pursue higher education without undue stress.
The Chairperson of the Kwara Central Educational Ad-hoc Advisory Committee, Professor Binta Sulyman, outlined the scope of the initiative.
She disclosed that the selected students would attend any of five Kwara-based private institutions, including Al-Hikma University, Kwara State University (KWASU), Summit University, Offa; and Ahman Pategi University, Patigi, among others.
Also speaking, the legislative aide to Senator Mustapha, Mallam Tunde Abdulrahman, explained that the scholarship initiative is in fulfillment of the senator's electoral promises to the youth and people of Kwara Central.
He further highlighted that the scheme aligns with President Bola Tinubu's Renewed Hope Agenda and complements the educational initiatives of Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, particularly in the development of educational infrastructure across the state.
“For the smooth execution of this programme, a team of top educationists, academicians, and stakeholders, led by Professor Sulyman, has been constituted to establish clear guidelines for its success,” Abdulrahman said.
He also encouraged the prospective beneficiaries to maximise the opportunity presented to them.
A public affairs analyst, Comrade Abdulatif Ajetunmobi, lauded Senator Mustapha's timely intervention, noting that the scholarship programme would greatly ease the socioeconomic challenges currently facing many parents.
