Delta State Government Awards Scholarships to 687 Beneficiaries
The Delta State Bursary and Scholarship Board (DSBSB), under the leadership of Chairman Comrade Shedrack Agediga and Executive Secretary Dr. Godfrey Enita, has awarded scholarships to 687 individuals, including children of late civil servants who passed away while in service and students with disabilities.
The presentation ceremony, held in Asaba, highlighted the state’s commitment to supporting education and easing financial burdens for vulnerable groups. Among the beneficiaries, 627 are children of deceased civil servants, while 60 are students with disabilities, covering primary, secondary, and tertiary education levels.
While presenting the awards, Comrade Shedrack Agediga commended Governor Sheriff Oborevwori for approving the necessary funding for the initiative. He emphasized the governor’s dedication to revitalizing Delta State’s education sector and promoting academic excellence among students.
“This scholarship program is designed to provide essential financial assistance to deserving students, enabling them to pursue their studies and ultimately contribute to society as entrepreneurs and employers,” Agediga stated. He added that the DSBSB remains committed to delivering meaningful benefits to the people of Delta State.
Dr. Godfrey Enita, the board’s Executive Secretary, expressed gratitude to the administration for its unwavering support of education. He urged recipients to seize the opportunity to advance academically and commended the DSBSB team for their diligence in implementing the scholarship schemes.
This initiative underscores the Delta State government’s dedication to empowering students and fostering a brighter future for the state.
