A federal lawmaker, Hon Chinedu Ogah through his foundation - the Chinedu Ogah Foundation offered free scholarship awards to Ebonyi state students.
The scholarships, the foundation said were awarded to the students in its determination to continue to invest in human capacity building and development in the state.
It was gathered that this time, over 50 students were drawn from all the electoral wards of the Ikwo/Ezza South Federal Consistency after a series of scholarship exams.
It was also gathered that "more have been selected and enrolled for a full-funded scholarship into the Blessed Martins International School, Abakaliki, one of the high ranking schools in the city of Abakaliki."
We learnt as well that the students would be on scholarship from JSS 1 to SS III and shall be sponsored by the Foundation through the university following their academic performances.
Recall that the Chinedu Ogah Foundation is a non-governmental organization but a scheme tailored to caring for humanity and fully funded by Hon. Comrade Chinedu Ogah, Member Representing Ikwo/Ezza South Federal Constituency in the National Assembly.
The Foundation has been offering scholarships to students in the University for the First Degree, Master's Degree, and Doctorate Programs but this time, the Foundation has elected to start from secondary school in training them.
According to the Co-Founder of the Foundation, Chief Mrs Mary Chinedu Ogah, the Foundation has offered the students a fully-funded scholarship and shall be providing them with every basic necessity while urging them to be of good conduct and reciprocate the kind gesture by studying hard to make the Foundation proud.
Meanwhile, the parents of the beneficiaries, Mr Nweke Simon from Ikwo LGA, Mrs Chidimma Joseph from Ezza South, and one of the students, One Chinaza Mirabel appreciated the foundation for the scholarship saying that it would stand as an upliftment to the soul of the education in the state and beyond.
