Oyo State Speaker, Rt Hon Adebo Ogundoyin has completed the second phase of the bursary award to students in his constituency.
A statement by the Special Adviser to the Speaker on Students, Ayuba Ayandele, confirmed that the second phase of the bursary sponsored by the Speaker has been completed on Wednesday.
Ayandele said, another hundred students have just benefited from the second phase of the bursary which comprises of higher institution students from Eruwa, Lanlate, Maya and villages in the constituency.
It would be recalled that the first batch of bursary surfaced months ago where hundred students were given the sum of ten thousand each.
Ogundoyin said the bursary award was part of his Education Support Programme aimed at boosting the morale of youth in his Constituency especially in terms of their educational pursuits.
” Education is no doubt the bedrock of socio-economic development of a nation. It is critical and pivotal hence all hands must be on deck to encourage our students to give their study all the attention it deserves. I am happy that we are supporting another one hundred students of Ibarapa East descent with cash. We were here in June this year to flag off the Bursary program and now the second set is benefitting. We promised to make it a quarterly affair and to God be the glory.
“This is another testimony that we are fulfilling our election campaign promises. I want to assure that the last set of one hundred students for the last quarter of the year will be attended to in December this year. May God continue to support our party and its lofty agenda for the people of Oyo State. ” Hon Ogundoyin added.
He urged the students to shun all vices capable of bringing the name of their families and the communities into disrepute.
” As youth, we are the future hope of any nation. No nation can neglect its youthful population. But I must warn us to avoid drug and substance abuse , cultism, sexual abuse, examination malpractices, internet fraud, kidnappings and armed robberies as these are ungodly activities which could lead anyone to the path of doom. ” He stressed.
Among those who graced the epoch event are Chairman, Water Corporation of Oyo State, Dr Adebayo Adepoju, Hon Ojoawo, Gbenga Obalowo Ibarapa East Local Government Chairman, Hon P.G Ojedokun Member OYHA, Lateef Akorede, Chairman Ibarapa North Local Government and others.
