Dr. Sylvanus Ugoh, the ASUU chairman of the UniAbuja chapter, highlighted during the presentation ceremony in Abuja that providing scholarships is one of the ways ASUU supports financially disadvantaged students.
“In the course of selecting these set of students, we have come to realise that there are so many of them in the campuses but we know we cannot take all of them at once and we have to do the little we can. We want to use it to encourage the people around and also prove to the people that ASUU is not all about strikes but also touching lives,” he said.
Ugoh also appealed to other compassionate Nigerians to collaborate in supporting the youth, emphasizing that many of them endure hardships on campuses. Regarding the selection process, he explained that it relied on applications submitted by students who considered themselves financially disadvantaged, and a committee subsequently evaluated them individually.
Additionally, he stated, “The national donated N200,000 per student and the national is taking care of two but the branch in its own way to support what the national is doing, also selected the other five and five of them a sum of N50,000 each, totalling N650,000.”
On their part, the beneficiaries collectively commended the UniAbuja chapter for awarding them the scholarship, pledging to make judicious use of the opportunity.
