The founder, Tansian University Umunya, Anambra State, Rev. Professor Johnbosco Akam, recently awarded scholarship worth millions of naira to 101 indigent students in the South-East Nigeria in commemoration of his 73th birthday.
Professor Akam, who clocked 73 on Saturday, August 15, 2020, hails from Uka-Uga in Aguata Local Government Area of Anambra State.
Addressing the gathering, Akam disclosed that giving scholarship to put smiles on the faces of the downtrodden in the society gave him joy.
According to him, the scholarship scheme is a programme under his education foundation, the Prof. Johnbosco Akam Education Foundation, established since 1985 to help indigent but brilliant students to help them go higher and be exposed to their God-given talents and to further promote the benefits of education, especially in the south-eastern Nigeria.
“I believe giving scholarship to poor determined students will bring a lot of relief to many households, which in turn will promote a better society,” he noted.
He, however, said the scholarship is only for the students who passed the last Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination to study in Tansian University for the 2020/2021 academic session.
He commended the chairman of the committee that selected beneficiaries for the scholarship, Reverend Benjamin Ilobeso, for a job well done and thanked the newly appointed Catholic Bishop of Ekwulobia Diocese, Bishop Peter Ebere Okpaleke, for his prayers, which he added made the event a huge success.
