Five 200-level students of the Federal University Lokoja (FUL) have received the Federal Government Scholarship Awards to study various undergraduate programmes at the University. The names and award letters of the deserving students were forwarded to the University through the office of the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic), Professor M.S. Audu by the Federal Scholarship Board (FSB) under the Federal Ministry of Education.
In the letters which were received today by the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Olayemi Akinwumi from FSB staff Mr. Abdul Gaminana, the Board stated that the scholarship which is tenable only in Nigeria takes effect from the beginning of the 2022 Academic Session, adding that the value of each award was two hundred and fifty thousand Naira (N250,000.00) only per session for three (3) years.
The Vice-Chancellor while presenting the scholarship awards to two (2) of the beneficiaries in his office, congratulated the awardees and charged them to utilize the money judiciously for the purpose intended. He equally admonished them to justify the award by striving for academic excellence in their respective fields of study at the University.
