The Kwara state government yesterday released a statement via The Honourable Commissioner for Tertiary Education, Science, and Technology Hajia Sa’adatu Modibbo-Kawu saying that it has finished paying the last batch of Lawyers each their N100,000 scholarship.
Governor AbdulRazaq approved the disbursements of funds to the 169 Lawyers last year after a rigorous screening process.
The Minister confirmed that they had finished paying all of them saying; “The government concluded the second batch by paying (N100,000 each) to 111 law school graduates who were recently called to bar after online and physical verification duly monitored by all the stakeholders.”
The payment, made straight to beneficiaries’ accounts, was done in two batches after thorough screenings of the applications.
The recipients who were there had this to say; “We thank His Excellency the Governor for this new dawn in Kwara State, especially regarding the new regime of bursary payment, which is not only transparent but is also revolutionary, full-proof, and exemplary.”
