Sen Nwoko announces full scholarships for 90 Delta North students
No fewer than 90 students of Delta North origin would benefit from Sen. Ned Nwoko (APC-Delta) fully sponsored comprehensive scholarship scheme.
Nwoko representing Delta North Senatorial District disclosed this in an intéview on Sunday.
He explained that the scholarship was geared toward advancing education in the state in general and the zone in particular.
He disclosed that the scholarship package includes tuition, accommodation, textbooks, and other academic costs throughout the students’ four-year programme, making it one of the most robust educational interventions in the region in recent times.
According to him, the scholarship will cover full tuition and all academic-related expenses for four years, offering critical financial relief to families while fostering academic excellence.
“Each local government area making up the senatorial zone is allotted ten slots, ensuring fair distribution across the district.
“These local government areas are Aniocha North, Aniocha South, Ika North East, Ika South, Ndokwa East, Ndokwa West, Oshimili South, Oshimili North and Ukwuani.
“I want our future generation to be equipped with the tools they need to succeed.”
The lawmaker added that the scholarship scheme is a strategic investment in the youths of Delta North, aimed at giving them a solid educational foundation.
He underscored the need to prioritise both academic potential and financial need, and therefore called on community leaders and party stakeholders in the state to ensure a transparent and merit-based selection process.
