Gov Makinde approves N60m bursary for Oyo Law School students

Oyo State Governor, Engineer Seyi Makinde, has approved 60M to cater for the 2019/2020 backlog session of 120 Oyo State indigenes in the Nigeria law school.

It would be recalled that the last time Oyo indigenes in the Law School received a bursary of N100, 000 was in 2012, seven years ago.

 

A statement by the Chief Press Secretary to Governor Makinde, Mr. Taiwo Adisa, quoted the Governor as saying that his decision was aimed at assisting the students to achieve greatness and encourage the students.

Governor Makinde, who received a delegation of the Law School students in his office on Tuesday urged them to ensure that they come back home to make contributions to Oyo State after their studies.

The Governor stressed that Oyo State has, by the gesture on the bursary award, made an investment on the Law School students and would love to make returns, advising them not to be carried away by the allure of Lagos and other cities.

He stated that as soon as the ongoing Rail project is completed, it would become easy to work in Lagos and live in Ibadan and vice versa.

The Governor also charged the Law School students not to lose hope whatever the challenges they face, noting that “life is not just for those who work hard but those who persevere.”

The leader of the delegate, Mr Olaniyi Ogunlade, while responding aknowledged the Governor's kind gesture, and promised that the beneficiaries of the bursary award would return to contribute their quota to the development of the State.
