Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State has ordered immediate phased disbursement of bursary stipends to Osun State students in various tertiary institutions.
The government had earlier collated students’ data across the tertiary institutions using the records from student stakeholders.
The bursary award covers about three thousand five hundred regular students and almost three hundred law students.
Each of the 30 local governments and area office has at least 100 students on the award list.
The first phase of the award is to reach beneficiaries from this week as the state government ramps up efforts to cushion the effect of study challenges facing Osun students in various institutions.
Speaking on the development, Governor Adeleke said the bursary award is the beginning of the many initiatives his administration has in stock for the student sector.
According to the Governor, his recent meetings with the student leadership has further deepened the bond between his administration and the student population, assuring that more goodies are in the pipeline.
“Aside from the bursary awards, more policy actions to address the needs of our students are coming. I plan an expanded meeting with the student population very soon as a follow up to the last meeting with the leaders of the various students’ associations in the state”, Governor Adeleke noted.
It’s an amazing step by the government. If continue like this will give us assurance of a better tomorrow.
Congratulations to all Osun students
We are happy, more grace sir
