The Vice-Chancellor, Rahamon Bello, said at the endowment awards ceremony in Lagos that the scheme was to encourage academic excellence. He said that it was also to encourage outstanding sportsmen and women and provide the much needed financial assistance to the indigent and physically challenged students.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the fund is to be disbursed to a total of 982 students who qualified. Bello said of the qualified students, 67 of them, with Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of 4.5 and above, were recognised for academic excellence, with Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of 4.5 and above.
The Vice-Chancellor said that the students would receive N50.000 each, while eight others, who are students with leadership qualities, would receive the sum of N25,000 each. According to him, 61 others who are outstanding sportsmen and women, will also receive the sum of N25,000each.
He said that 173 others in the needy students category would collect the sum of N25,000 each. Bello said that 64 students in the physically challenged category would also receive the sum of N25,000 each.
The Vice-Chancellor lauded the institution’s chairman of council for giving the go-ahead of the disbursement. He said that future awards would be better and would also be held much earlier in the session in order to make the funds more readily applicable.
The Vice-Chancellor noted that the funding of the endowment awards was derived from the interest generated through the investment of the Unilag General Endowment Funds, most of them from friends, parents, the alumni, contractors and others.
