This is contained in a statement issued by the Secretary of the Ekiti Scholarship Board, Mrs Bukola Faluyi, and made available to journalists on Saturday in Ado-Ekiti.

“It is on this note that the governor has graciously approved the payment of the bursary award, being one of the several steps to support his shared prosperity agenda of Human Capital Development.”
According to her, each beneficiary will receive N150,000 on Tuesday, July 23, at the Ministry of Education.
