Fifty-nine students of the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Osun State, has benefited from a scholarship award worth N3.5m. sponsored by the OAU Muslim Graduates’ Association.
This was during the annual reunion convention of the association held at the university.
The National President of the association, Prof. Abdul Egbewole, who noted that previous beneficiaries of the scholarship programme had performed excellently, said the organisation had given scholarships worth N17.56m to students of the institution since inception.
He said the association, founded about two decades ago, was aimed at educating the public on social ills.
In response to this gesture, the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academics) of OAU, Prof. Ayobami Salami, said, “For many years they have been consistent and exceptional in awarding scholarships to students. If we have five or six of them, the story will not be the same.”
