Ekiti State Governor, Mr Biodun Oyebanji, has greenlit a substantial ₦31.35 million financial lifeline for 209 indigenes pursuing legal studies at the Nigerian Law School’s seven campuses nationwide, reinforcing his administration’s drive to nurture the next generation of barristers and solicitors.
This timely intervention arrives as a beacon of support for students navigating the rigours of bar training, easing the burden of tuition and living costs in a challenging economic landscape.
Announcing the approval in Ado-Ekiti, the Executive Secretary of the Ekiti State Scholarship Board, Mrs Bukola Faluyi, hailed the move as a perfect embodiment of Governor Oyebanji’s Shared Prosperity mantra, which prioritises inclusive growth, youth empowerment, and bolstering human capital.
She highlighted how the gesture reflects the governor’s steadfast dedication to democratising access to top-tier education and equipping Ekiti’s young talent with the tools to realise their academic and career ambitions.
Each of the 209 beneficiaries stands to pocket ₦150,000, a practical sum designed to offset essential expenses during their intensive programme and keep them focused on excellence.
In a chorus of gratitude, the recipients lauded Governor Oyebanji as a forward-thinking leader whose investments in education are forging pathways to success for the state’s youth.
They pledged to harness this opportunity to contribute meaningfully to Ekiti’s development, underscoring the profound ripple effects of such targeted support on the community’s future.
