Hon Ezeugwu has thus charged the Zonal leadership of NANS to commence scouting for intelligent but underprivileged students especially in 100 levels that will join the November 2022 batch.

The emphasis on 100 level undergraduates he said, is to avail them more opportunities of benefitting from the scheme throughout their stay in the tertiary institution.

The lawmaker also presented a Sienna bus to the leadership of The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) Zone F South-East to assist them in the discharge of their duties.

The NANS delegation had visited the lawmaker in Enugu to appreciate his humanitarian efforts and to decorate him with a Medal of Honor as a show of gratitude from the students.

His statement read in part: “I am glad to bring to your notice that from November this year our Foundation will expand it’s scholarship to the entire South East Zone as education remains the bedrock for national development and successful society.

“Ikechukwu Ezeugwu Foundation will continue to support and encourage intelligent but underprivileged students as we reaffirm our commitment to this course and readiness to partner with NANS in spreading our scholarship scheme across the South-East Geopolitical Zone.

“I must thank you for your prayers and kind words. The Medal of Honour from you today means so much to me. I am encouraged.”

The Coordinator of NANS South-East, Comr. Onya Ibeabuchi Moses while receiving the keys of the Sienna appreciated Hon Ezeugwu for using his Foundation to support the students movement and empower intelligent but underprivileged students in the zone.

“On behalf of the Nigerian students, Southeast Zone F, I deeply express our profound gratitude for this precious gift and for the scholarship. Leader, this is very exclusive and unique and history is made today, yes, it must be put on record that Ikechukwu Ezeugwu Foundation is the first to donate a vehicle to NANS South-East and also the first to dish out scholarship of this magnitude to South East Students as far as Zone F leadership is concerned.

“As our pioneer donor, I want to reaffirm our commitment to this partnership and to reassure you of our continued commitment in ensuring that the students body remains law abiding  and always work towards  national cohesion especially as we prepare for the 2023 elections.

“We have come across many personalities and must confess that you are very exceptional, we are filled with emotions of excitement and can barely say much, we are very grateful and will continue to work together both in the student community and beyond. May the almighty God continue to replenish the scarce resources you have continued to dole out to effectively impact on the lives of students.”

NANS delegates at the epoch making event include, Comr. Chiawa Onyebuchi Emmanuel, Cmr. Akam Ikechukwu Samuel, Cmr. Isaiah Aniamalu, Comr. Solomon Nweke, Comr. Ugwuja Henry Obinna, Comr. Nwobodo Chinoso Emmanuel, Comr. Romanus Ogene and Comr. Kenechukwu Okeke, among others.
