The All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in Ogun State, Senator Solomon Adeola, popularly known as Yayi, has awarded scholarships and bursaries to 5,312 indigent students across the state, as part of his continued investment in education and human capital development. Speaking at the third Yayi Scholarship/Bursary Award Programme in Abeokuta on July 26, he disclosed that more than 17,000 students applied for the scholarship/bursary award. Of the 5,312 beneficiaries, he said that 1,735 students were awarded scholarships, while 3,577 students received bursary payments. One of the beneficiaries, a student of Ogun State Polytechnic of Health and Allied Sciences, Imoleayo Fadunsin, commended Senator Adeola for his generosity and commitment to giving hope to indigent students through the award of a bursary or scholarship. “…This intervention will bring great relief to my parents, who are struggling to take care of my academic needs,” Fadunsin said.
