Remi Tinubu Gives Scholarship, N5 Million To Freed FUDMA Students

The First Lady, Sen. Oluremi Tinubu, through the Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI), has granted scholarships to the five rescued undergraduates of the Federal University Dutsin-Ma (FUDMA), Katsina state, who were abducted on October 4.

VerseNews reports that each student received N1 million and a new laptop.

The scholarship will cover four years of their education.

Sen. Tinubu also promised N2 million to each student’s parents, N1 million to the Vice Chancellor of FUDMA, and committed to supporting their development and well-being.

Sen Tinubu also promised to go beyond their safe return, promising to do a follow-up on their development both in school and concerning their mental health.

“Since your dreadful abduction on October 4, it has been a period of pain for you, your parents, your teachers, and indeed all Nigerians. Throughout this period, we have kept faith and trust in God and in our law enforcement agencies that you will return safely.”

“We will do a follow up on your journey not only to recover from this sad episode in your lives, but to see that you accomplish your mission in your educational pursuit and career interests. You must continue to pursue your educational interests.

“Education is the greatest weapon in the fight against terrorism, by ensuring that you continue to learn, you can rewrite the story of your individual lives and your communities and join in the fight against terrorism and criminality,” she said.
