Mr. John Adeniyi, on behalf of the agency, described the initiative as patriotic and explained that the scholarship award is in phases
‘’The ongoing is the first phase of the scholarship awards being given to 10,000 Ekiti indigenes. It goes to students/prospective students of the National Certificate of Education (NCE).
Adeniyi said that the phases for university degrees and higher degrees are on the pipeline.
