The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) and the National Association of Ogun State Students (NAOSS) have commended the senator representing Ogun West Senatorial District at the National Assembly, Solomon Olamilekan Adeola, for providing scholarships and bursary awards to over 3,000 students in Ogun West.
In a statement signed by the National Vice President for Inter-Campus and Gender Affairs of NANS, Akinbodunse Sileola Felicia, Francis Gabriel, Chairman of NANS Ogun, and the National President of NAOSS, Comrade Thomas Kehinde, on Sunday, key interventions by the senator in advancing education in Ogun State were highlighted.
According to the statement, the N200,000 scholarships and N100,000 bursaries facilitated by the senator would significantly alleviate the financial burden on the beneficiaries.
The student leaders added that the scheme would also assist indigent students in the senatorial district to focus more on their studies, while their parents would heave a sigh of relief.
The student leaders observed that, since Adeola was elected senator in 2023, several developmental projects have been facilitated by him. They noted that his intervention in the provision of educational infrastructure has opened a new chapter in the senatorial district.
They added that, apart from the periodic award of scholarships and bursaries to thousands of students, the senator’s facilitation of the construction of modern classrooms, ICT centres, and libraries in public schools in Ogun West has transformed the Yewa-Awori zone of Ogun State.
While declaring that Senator Adeola, who is also the Senate Committee Chairman on Appropriations, has changed the narrative of governance in the senatorial district, NANS and NAOSS, in the statement, urged him not to relent in his efforts to place Ogun West on the path of socioeconomic development.
They, however, described the senator as a student-friendly politician who has continued to prioritise the welfare of students and the creation of a conducive environment for learning.
The student leaders concluded that NANS and NAOSS would continue to rally support for Senator Adeola in his bid to offer qualitative representation in the Senate and facilitate more developmental projects for the people of Ogun West.
They further urged other senators in the state to take a cue from Adeola by implementing schemes that would benefit students immensely.
