According to the FIBSU National Council President, the bursary scheme—targeted at indigent but deserving Lagelu students across tertiary institutions—is a strong indication that the Lagelu LG administration recognizes education as a critical tool for sustainable development and social advancement.
“This bursary disbursement goes beyond financial assistance; it is a strong message of encouragement and hope to Lagelu students. Hon. Mudashiru Kamorudeen Morenikeji has shown uncommon leadership by prioritizing students’ welfare and investing in the future of our community,” Aare Giwa stated.
He further applauded the transparent and inclusive process adopted for the exercise, stressing that the registration and screening procedures ensured fairness, accountability, and credibility in the selection of beneficiaries.
The FIBSU National Council also expressed appreciation to the management and staff of Lagelu Local Government for their cooperation and effective coordination, which contributed to the smooth execution of the bursary programme.
In conclusion, the Union called on other local government chairmen and political leaders across Ibadanland and Oyo State to emulate the Lagelu LG example by making deliberate investments in education and youth development.
The FIBSU National Council reaffirmed its commitment to constructive engagement and partnership with responsive leaders in advancing the welfare and academic progress of Ibadan students globally.
