Senator Smart Adeyemi, representing Kogi-west Senatorial District at the National Assembly, has pledged the sum of N10 million as annual bursary for 200 students from the district.

Chief Fehinti Dada disclosed this while inaugurating a Committee on Senator Smart Adeyemi Scholarship, on behalf of the legislator in Lokoja.

Dada said the senator, who had earlier set up a bursary scheme for  students of the district, had to donate the money in view of the fact that more students are in need of assistance.

He said the first distribution will be made in October this year to the 200 students in colleges of education, polytechnics as well as universities across the country.

He said there are over 5,000 tertiary students in the district and that the committee would work out modalities to select beneficiaries.
