Among one of the best performing governors in Nigeria is Rt. Hon. Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru; the executive governor of Ebonyi State. The young vibrant governor has always been on top of the gears in policy formulation, human capital and infrastructural development.
Within his first year in office, the executive governor has left countless number of good records and mouthwatering achievements; giving the good people of Ebonyi State a new breath.
Remember that late last year, the state Government has announced a plan to send over 500 indigents Ebonyians abroad for postgraduate studies while many other beneficiaries of the scheme will be sponsored in local universities within the country.
In line with the decision, applications was received from interested individuals and screening exercises were organized with list of successful applicants released thereafter.
According to the memo posted on the governor's verified Facebook page which was obtained by our correspondent, the governor announced that a sum of ₦2,239,904,667 has been approved for research funding, living costs and fees for 597 beneficiaries of the scheme.
The memo reads:
"Council approved the sum of two billion, two hundred and thirty nine million, nine hundred and four thousand, six hundred and sixty seven naira (₦2,239,904,667) only for the 597 successful candidates to study in Nigerian universities for MSc and PhD, as submitted by the state Scholarship Board. This covers school fees, research funding and living expenses for the scholarship beneficiaries..."
The memo also made approval for workers who are beneficiaries of the scholarship to be granted study leave.
This is one of the rare gestures which his Excellency has demonstrated in his mission to deliver the progressive mandates he promised.
