It was a moment of joy yesterday at the Grace Court hotel Abakaliki where our leader His Excellency Distinguished Senator Dr Sam Egwu hosted students of his constituency who are beneficiaries of his annual Scholarship Scheme.
The SAM EGWU SCHOLARSHIP SCHEME is an initiative of His Excellency Senator Dr Sam Egwu, CON aimed at making tertiary education accessible to students of Ebonyi North origin and Ebonyi state in general especially those from indigent backgrounds.
One of the most remarkable passions of His Excellency is his undying love for education hence this programme has been sustained from his days as Governor till date.
After a meticulous selection process which is based principally on academic merit, 25 beneficiaries were drawn from each of the four Local Government Areas that make up Ebonyi North totalling the figure to a hundred.
The students were overjoyed and expressed satisfaction. They effusively thanked His Excellency and promised to justify the kind gesture through excellent performances in their various fields of study.
The host, His Excellency Sen Dr Sam Egwu while addressing the beneficiaries urged that they take their education seriously as the future belonged to them and no nation could develop without education. He vowed also to continue to serve his people in the best ways possible.
