The Kwara State Government has approved that scholarships paid to public students at universities across the country will be increased by 100% from N5,000 to N10,000.
A statement signed by Mansura Amuda-Kannike, press secretary of the Ministry of Higher Education, on behalf of the commissioner, Dr. Afees Abolore-Alabi, said on Thursday.
The press release indicates that the process of accessing the stock market is strictly automated and adds that the portal will be open for one week, from Friday 4 November and will close on Friday November 11, 2022.
“Commissioner for Tertiary Education, Dr Alabi Afees Abolore said in the statement that application for the bursary will open on Friday 4th November and close at 12 midnight on November 11, 2022, through https://scholarship.kw.gov.ng/bursary.”
The statement explained that the rise in bursary allowance comes barely one week after Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq approved free transport services for students returning for their studies following the end of the months-long industrial action by university lecturers.
“The free transport served as palliatives to all parents and guardians,” the statement added.
“The Commissioner appreciated the commitment of Governor AbdulRazaq to his campaign promises to all and sundry.
