Student on PAP scholarship bags first class in law

• 60 make grade between 2016-2023

A Student on the scholarship scheme of the Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP), Kemien Egbekun, has graduated with a CGPA of 4.77 (first class degree) in Law at the Michael and Cecilia Ibru University (MCIU), Agbara-Otor, Delta State.

Two other students sponsored by the PAP, Oladapo Damilola and Toikumo Prosper, also made a second-class upper-division grade in Law at the same institution. They all participated in the university’s 6th convocation ceremony on September 6, 2024.

No fewer than 60 students sponsored by the PAP made first class in different disciplines between 2016 and 2023 at various partnering universities as confirmed by the Head of Education, Dr. Charles Ariye.

Though the scorecard for 2024 is being awaited from the various institutions, Egbekun and her colleagues have, by their laudable academic achievements, added to the constantly growing number of the PAP scholarship scheme beneficiaries who had scored similar excellent grades in various courses of study at partnering institutions.

MEANWHILE, PAP’s Administrator, Dr. Dennis Otuaro, has expressed delight over the sterling academic performances of students sponsored by the programme. He spoke on the heels of the meritorious academic feats of the Arogbo-Ijaw-born Egbekun and others, according to a statement signed by his Special Assistant on Media, Igoniko Oduma, yesterday.
