DELTA State Law Students Association of Nigeria has expressed delight over the prompt payment of bursary by Governor Sheriff Oborevwori-led adminstration, which was great morale booster leading to their high academic performance.
This was disclosed in an appreciation Letter sent to the Governor, signed by its current National President, Akosa Daniels and erstwhile National President, Innocent Ighoawworua.
The letter reads in part, “The bursary grant has brought immense relief, motivation and hope to the Delta State Students who were recently called to the Nigerian Bar between the 5th, 6th, and 7th of March, 2024, as confirmed Barristers and Solicitors of the Supreme court of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, enabling some of us to pursue further academic desires and others to further our career goals, without financial burden.
“It would interest His Excellency to know that the Best Male Graduate of the Nigerian Law School 2022/2023 Graduating set, Umukoro, Nyerovwo Godstime Esq., is an indigene of Delta State.
“We would also like to bring to your notice that Delta State had more than 10 First Class graduates from the 251 First Class graduates who were called to Bar; making our State a force to reckon with. All these are immense reflections of the results of your commitment to, and investment in education.
“We acknowledge and appreciate your recognition of education’s pivotal role in shaping our State’s future, your unwavering commitment to students’ and graduates’ welfare and development and your proactive measures to address financial constraints hindering academic success.
“This gesture”, they went on, “has rekindled our faith in your leadership capacity and vision, which has inspired us to excel academically and to break further boundaries, knowing that we have your backing.
“We pledge to make the most of this opportunity, becoming productive citizens and contributors to the development and progress of Delta State and beyond and making Delta State proud at all times”.
