Bayelsa State Governor, Senator Douye Diri, has approved a grant of N300,000 for each law student from the state studying in various law schools across Nigeria.
This announcement was made by the Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice in the state, Biriyai Dambo, during a meeting with representatives of the Bayelsa State Law Graduates Forum in Yenagoa.
According to Dambo, the governor’s approval reflects his commitment to supporting the education of Bayelsa indigenes, particularly during these economically challenging times.
The grant aims to cushion the effects of economic hardship on the students, as that will enable them to focus on their academic pursuits.
Governor Diri urged the students to concentrate on their studies, as well as striving to make their families and the state proud.
Imomotimi Godspower, speaking on behalf of the students, expressed deep gratitude to the governor for the grant, and described it as a highly encouraging gesture.
