Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, has approved automatic scholarship awards for the best graduating students across the four state-owned universities, in a move aimed at strengthening academic excellence and supporting youth development.
The announcement was made by the Delta State Bursary and Scholarship Board, whose Executive Secretary, Dr. Godfrey Enita, said the gesture reflects the Governor’s unwavering commitment to empowering young people through the M.O.R.E. Agenda, particularly in the area of human capital development.
According to the Board, the automatic scholarship scheme will benefit the Best Graduating Student from each academic session in the following state-owned institutions: Delta State University, Abraka; Southern Delta University, Ozoro; University of Delta, Agbor and Dennis Osadebay University, Asaba.
Dr. Enita explained that each awardee will receive full funding to pursue Master’s and Ph.D. programmes in recognized Nigerian universities.
He noted that beneficiaries will be required to complete the standard scholarship procedures and documentation to access the awards.
He added that the initiative underscores the state government’s determination to raise a highly skilled, globally competitive youth population capable of contributing to Delta State’s long-term growth.
“The Board remains committed to creating opportunities that uplift our students and encourage academic distinction,” Enita assured.
The new scholarship policy is expected to further motivate undergraduates across the state-owned institutions to strive for excellence, while positioning Delta State as a leading hub for educational advancement in Nigeria.
