By Daniel Dafe

Immediate past Governor of Bayelsa State, Seriake Dickson, has given grants to 90 Bayelsan students.

This was disclosed via a Facebook post signed by Tony Ogula and Bar Bordillon Ogugubeni, adding that the educational support grant to deserving students of Bayelsa are currently in the 2021/22 session of the Nigerian Law School.

He added: “They will receive N100, 000.00 (One hundred thousand naira) grant each.”

According yo him, he also has approved the sum of N870, 000. 00 (Eight hundred and seventy thousand naira) educational support grant for Miss Emmanuel Ebilaere Favour, an indigent Bayelsan student studying in Zanakuro Iscom University, Benin Republic, which has been paid directly to the school account.

“Throughout my public career, I have left no one in doubt about the primacy of position I attach to the issue of Education, building educational institutions, infrastructure, policies and the development of human capital in general.

This was why as governor I awarded unprecedented number of scholarships, both local and foreign even in a recession.

“Now in my present capacity as senator, I have continued to use the Henry Seriake Dickson Foundation (HSDF) to support Education, scholarships, sports and human capital development in which ever little way I can,” he said.

Furthermore, he said that he “kick-started this today as the first batch and some others will follow,” just as he congratulated the awardees and urged them to accept this as a token of his appreciation for their efforts and to encourage them to do more in their educational pursuits.

“As someone who has always been passionate about education, I deliberately extended this batch of beneficiaries beyond my Senatorial District in the same way I extended scholarships and other opportunities as governor to all Ijaws outside Bayelsa.

“My Constituency office and officials will follow up on the Post graduate Educational Support program for PhD. and masters students. Some have already been contacted and others have been noted but for those who are qualified and intend to participate, feel free to contact my constituency office through the numbers listed below for verification,” the post added.
