In a major stride toward advancing education in Delta State, Senator Ned Munir Nwoko, representing Delta North in the National Assembly, has unveiled a comprehensive scholarship scheme for 90 deserving students across the senatorial district.
The announcement was made on Saturday, June 14, 2025, during the Delta North APC stakeholders’ meeting held in Idumuje-Ugboko, the senator’s hometown. The gathering attracted party chieftains, traditional leaders, and supporters from all nine local government areas in Delta North.
According to Senator Nwoko, the scholarship will cover full tuition and all academic-related expenses for four years, offering critical financial relief to families while fostering academic excellence. Each local government area is allotted ten slots, ensuring fair distribution across the district.
“I want our future generation to be equipped with the tools they need to succeed,” Nwoko said. “This scholarship scheme is a strategic investment in the youths of Delta North, aimed at giving them a solid educational foundation.”
He called on community leaders and party stakeholders to ensure a transparent and merit-based selection process, underscoring the need to prioritize both academic potential and financial need.
The initiative was warmly received by party members and constituents, many of whom praised the senator’s continued commitment to youth empowerment and educational development.
A party official from Aniocha North remarked, “This is more than just politics—it’s real, tangible impact. Senator Nwoko has shown once again that he understands the needs of his people.”
The scholarship package includes tuition, accommodation, textbooks, and other academic costs throughout the students’ four-year program, marking one of the most robust educational interventions in the region in recent times.
With this initiative, Senator Nwoko reaffirms his role as a development-driven leader focused on grassroots empowerment, education, and long-term growth for Delta North.
