Ebonyi State Governor, Francis Nwifuru, has sent 204 indigenes to the United Kingdom under his administration’s scholarship scheme. The beneficiaries departed yesterday.
Governor Nwifuru revealed his commitment to ensuring that 8,000 Ebonyi youths benefit from the state’s scholarship program before the end of his tenure. This initiative aims to equip young people with the skills and knowledge needed to drive the state’s development.
