The member representing Isoko North/South Federal Constituency, Rep. Ajirioghene J. Ukodhiko has fulfilled his campaign promise of offering scholarship to Isoko students that score 300 and above in the just concluded UTME examination.
During his campaign last year, Ukodikho promised scholarships to students from Isoko North and South Federal Constituency who would do well in their pre-entry examination (JAMB), and are desirous of studying professional courses.
In a statement posted on Facebook and seen by Blueprint, Sunday in Abuja, Ukodikho said “I am delighted to announce the fulfilment of another of our campaign promises.
“It has always been my desire to champion a cause that will academically empower the Isoko child and strategically position the Isoko Nation at the apex of academic excellence-and-professionalism in the future.
“This initiative marks a significant step towards achieving that goal, and I am confident that its success will further inspire our students and foster healthy academic competition.”
According to him, “the emphasis was not only on merit but also on parents/guardians financial status, clan, and local government area of the students who submitted their JAMB scores for the scholarship (one per clan/LGA).”
The students, who were offered the full-tuition scholarship through the UJA FAMILY FOUNDATION (UFF) at Madonna University include; Lucky Triumph Oghenero from Oleh in Isoko South, who scored 362 with Civil Engineering as course of study; Etugbo Ann Omamuzo of Ozoro from Isoko North with 342 (Pharmacy); Amofagi Oghenewhome Akpevweoghene from Olomoro in Isoko South with 333 (Medicine and Surgery); Oyovwe Emmanuel Elooghene from Emevor in Isoko North with 319 (Medicine And Surgery); and Ewhotera Joy Oghenekome from Ofagbe in Isoko North with 315 (Doctor Of Pharmacy).
