President Should Expand Presidential Scholarship Award

The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has commended the Federal Government for launching the
Presidential Scholarship Award.

However, the students want more than 100 underprivileged students to benefit from it.

In a statement by its National President, Comrade Dauda
Muhammed, NANS said the presidential award should be
expanded to accommodate beyond the 100 indigent
students which it targets.

The statement reads: "We must particularly appreciate the recently launched Presidential Scholarship Award which at inception is giving at least a 100 students support to fulfill their dreams.

“We urge the Federal Government to consider the dire need to expand the scope of the award and other supportive package that can assist students, particularly the indigent ones in having more access to education. This is surely key to our development as a nation.

"While we are continuously confronted with an increasing demand for the improved commitment of the government of Nigeria to the educational sector, we must, but at this point, commend the dedication of the present administration and the leadership of the Federal Ministry of Education headed by Prof Ruqqayat Ahmed-Rufa’i for their improved effort at ensuring qualitative education and the upward review in
commitment being made by the government to education."
