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.
