The Firs Lady Oluremi Tinubu has unveiled 200 recipients of her Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI) scholarship programme. This was disclosed in a release made available to journalists yesterday by her spokesperson, Bisola Kukoyi.
This was done by the RHI in partnerships with various National and International organisations and it was meant to continue to boost the number of Nigerian Youths who now have access to qualitative education.
The Initiative was in partnership with the AUDANEPAD/African School of Economics. At the unveiling, held at the Banquet Hall of the State House Abuja, the First Lady reiterated that the administration of President Bola Tinubu would continue to prioritize education as evident in the various policies and programmes it is implementing in the sector.
She said: “The administration of His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR., has done so much in the education sector.
The recent zero interest Student’s Loans scheme, bursary and scholarship awards to students and various education infrastructure development projects, are all geared towards providing unhindered access to education for every Nigerian student.
“Last year, the Renewed Hope Initiative under its National Scholarship Programme (RHI-NASP) gave scholarships to the tune of N1,000,000 per annum for four years and a brand new laptop to students in Nigerian tertiary institutions.”
