The Sheriff Oborevwori Foundation has disbursed scholarship to the beneficiaries of the scheme.

The Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly, Rt Hon Sheriff Oborevwori made the presentation of the Cheques to the beneficiaries on Friday, June 19th, 202O, just as he presented car gifts to Okpe Political leaders.

The Coordinator of Sheriff Oborevwori Foundation Scholarship/Bursary Committee, Chief (Mrs) Esther E. Onokpasa assisted the Speaker in the presentation of the Cheques to the beneficiaries.

He disclosed that the sum of Ten Million Naira, (N10,000,000:00) has been deposited in the Foundation’s account for the purpose of the scholarship, adding that the students must get their N200,000 each immediately whether the Universities are in session or not, hence the brief ceremony for the presentation of the cheques.

It is worthy of note that Sheriff Oborevwori Foundation awarded scholarship to indigenous and non indigenous students in public Universities from 200 level to graduation.

The Speaker equally gave out car gifts to Okpe political leaders, who according to him have been working tirelessly for the success and victory of the party in the local government area.

Today too, we have also disbursed Scholarship to the beneficiaries. Am a man of my words, because a promise made, must be kept”.

The Speaker explained that the brief event which was devoured of any fun fare was initially scheduled to hold on Sunday 14th June, 2020, but was postponed to Friday 19th June, 2020, in honour of late Chief (Sir) Tom Amioku, who untill his demise was one of the foremost political leaders in Okpe local government area.

He said; “We actually planned this event for Sunday, 14th June, 2020, but was shifted forward in honour of late Chief (Sir) Tom Amioku. We are going to miss him greatly and the presentation now concided with my birthday today, but everything is low key, no any celebration because there is mourning in our land”.

(1) Chief Daniel Okoro
(2) Chief J. I. Asini
(3) Chief Chris Ometan
(4) Chief Robert Onome
(5) Chief Lizzy Obukene
(6) Chief Dr Peter Ebireri
