Ekiti First Lady Urges Student To Justify N1 Million Per Session Scholarship.

Her Excellency Dr. Olayemi Oyebanji, the Ekiti State Governor's wife, encouraged Sunmonu Olaolorun Daniel, a recipient of the Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI) National Scholarship, to work harder and justify the scholarship award. The advice was given during the scholarship presentation event at the Presidential Villa in Abuja. The scholarship, awarded by the First Lady of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, entails a yearly sum of N1 million for four years and a laptop for each awardee, provided they maintain a CGPA of 3.0 and above.

Dr. Oyebanji, a senior lecturer in Education Management, praised Sunmonu, a bright student from Ekiti, for fulfilling the criteria and urged him to continue making the state proud. She commended Senator Tinubu for the initiative's inclusion of Girl-Child Education, Adult Literacy, and Out-of-School Dropouts.

The Ekiti First Lady congratulated Sunmonu on winning the scholarship and emphasized the importance of him performing well to secure future funding. She expressed gratitude to Senator Remi Tinubu for the platform, believing it would motivate tertiary students to excel.

Sunmonu expressed gratitude to the RHI for the scholarship and to the Ekiti State government for nominating him. He promised to justify their investment by excelling academically.

Senator Tinubu called the N1 million scholarship a seed money and encouraged recipients to develop vocational skills alongside their academics. She highlighted President Tinubu's commitment to accessible tertiary education through the Students Loan Scheme.

The event was attended by dignitaries, including the Vice President's wife, Hajia Nana Shettima, RHI Director on Education Prof. Hafsat Ganduje, state governors' wives, and others. The RHI aims to empower underprivileged students and make quality education available to all children across Nigeria.
