James Sowole in Abeokuta

The Senator representing Ogun West, Senator Solomon Adeola, who is also the chairman of the Senate Committee on Appropriations, would unveil his scholarship programme for indigent students in his constituency tomorrow.

The Media Adviser to the Senator, Mr. Kayode Odunaro, disclosed this in a statement, which said that the event would hold at Ilaro, Yewa South Local Government Area.

The senator had recently inaugurated a Scholarship Award Board for students of Ogun West origin in higher institutions of learning across the nation.

The board, which would be chaired by Professor Tope Popoola, has other prominent scholars, heads of institutions and notable professionals as its members.

The board has since set standards for applications and selection for the scholarship award programme and would tomorrow publicly unveil the scholarship award programme  to signal the official commencement  of the award scheme.

As part of the programme, the official website of the scholarship board would be launched and made operational for suitably qualified candidates to process their registration.n

Following inquiries on social media and in person by some constituents on-criminally minded manipulations after the scholarship board was announced, Adeola cautioned members of the public not to patronise fake applications website that would ask them to pay stipends because the scholarship registration would not attract any payment to register or process the application.
