GOV. OBOREVWORI APPROVES 2023 BURSARY AWARD TO DELTA STATE STUDENTS.

GOV. OBOREVWORI APPROVES 2023 BURSARY AWARD TO DELTA STATE STUDENTS.

*** DISBURSEMENT TO COMMENCE
BY THE FIRST WEEK OF FEBRUARY 2024

I wish to bring to the notice of the National Association of Delta State Students who are planning a protest over non-payment of bursary award, that His Excellency the Governor of Delta State Rt. Hon. (Elder) Sheriff Oborevwori has approved the payment of the 2023 bursary award and has directed the State Scholarship Board to make arrangements to commence disbursement to validly qualified students of Delta State origin by the first week of February 2024.
I therefore urge the leadership of NADETSSU to shelve their planned protest since the core issue of the 2023 bursary is settled. Any protest at this time can only be counter-productive besides the consequences, which are unpredictable, given the history of youth protest in Nigeria. It is common knowledge that Gov. Oborevwori is not only youth friendly but also interested in youth development, which is a critical component of his M.O.R.E agenda. He is definitely a father figure whose love for students can only be described in the superlative.
We appreciate the patience and understanding of the great Delta State Students and NADETSSU in particular, but what is needed now is solidarity with your father, the Governor of Delta State.

Dr. Godfrey Enita,
Executive Secretary
DTS Bursary and Scholarship Board.
