Lagos state Governor to reward N5m cash and scholarship to the best graduating LASU student and the best Masters student
Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu has promised to reward N5m and a scholarship to the best graduating LASU student.
The Governor said this at the LASU 24th Convocation ceremony which held on Wednesday, Dec 16 as he joined the event virtually from his isolation center.
22-year-old Oladimeji Shotunde, a student whose mother is a trader and his father a mechanic, is the recipient of this donation and scholarship, having emerged the overall best graduating student finishing from the Department of Business Administration in the Faculty of Management Science, with a Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of 4.95.
Also, Sola Olabanjo, a Master’s degree graduand from the department of Computer Science, who scored a CGPA of 5.0, will also receive a 5 million Niara grant from the office of the Lagos state governor, Sanwo-Olu announced.
The state governor made a vow to both exceptional students, saying: “Once you have thought out what you want to do, the state government has employment for you, the state government has scholarship for you to help you achieve your academic excellence to whatever level you so desire to have it.”
That is what we need in this country which is encouragement, this will motivate others who have the ambition to excel in their study.
Congratulations to both of them, may Almighty God continue to guide them in whatever they lay their hands on. That’s good for them.
This is type of encouragement that we needed from our leaders and politicians and not rewarding those excel in immoral act which has nothing to do with the development of the country.
The remaining governors should try to emulate Lagos State governor in rewarding those that will contribute to the development of their states and the country at large. Congratulations to both of them
