Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori has graciously given approval for the payment of year 2023 scholarship to children of deceased civil servants and students living with disabilities in the state.
The scholarship scheme for children of deceased civil servants is designed to cater for the bereaved children of Delta State civil servants who died while in active service.
Similarly, the scholarship scheme for the physically challenged students is part of Delta State Government’s effort to assist physically challenged persons, who, in spite of their disabilities, have taken up the challenge to acquire relevant education that will make them less vulnerable in the society.
The two scholarship schemes run through Primary, Secondary and Tertiary schools.
In a statement signed by Executive Secretary, Delta State Bursary and Scholarship Board, Dr. Godfrey Enita, a total of 628 Children of Deceased Civil Servants drawn from over 200 families and 60 students living with disabilities will benefit from the 2023 scholarship.
“As a catalyst for socio-economic development, education is a critical component of Governor Oborevwori’s M.O.R.E Agenda geared towards empowering dreams and building great futures.
“Therefore, these approvals by the Governor, underscores his passion and commitment towards the education of students of Delta State origin, regardless of their socio-economic background.”
