registration of their West Africa School Certificate, WASC and other
sundry expenses.
The students were randomly selected from different schools in the zone
where 17 best performing science and arts students were picked from
each of the schools and presented with N13, 000 cheques each.
Senator Nnaji said he extended the gesture so that they will excel in
their academics, do better in WEAC examinations and make their parents
proud.
Nnaji disclosed that he had already given bursary to students of
tertiary institution and to the law school students from Enugu east
senatorial district, adding that he will still give another bursary
this year even as a young musician from the area was also awarded with
scholarship scheme to university level.
Nnaji said: “I advise my constituents to remain law abiding, to
maintain peace in their various local governments, communities,
continue to support the government in power in Enugu state under
Governor Sullivan Chime and the government of PDP under President
Goodluck Jonathan.
“All of us at the national assembly, we are going to come back home to
give Christmas gifts to our constituents. We believe that 2014 will be
a progressive year to every one of us.”
