Hon. Chimaobi Sam Atu Sponsors 51 Indigent Students for National Unity School Entrance Exam

The member representing Enugu North and South Federal Constituency in the federal house of representatives, Hon. Chimaobi Sam Atu, has sponsored a total of 51 indigent but intelligent students from selected schools in his constituency for the 2024 National Common Entrance Examination for admission into government unity schools in Nigeria.

The chairman of the Chimaobi Sam Atu Education Board, Dr. Chidiebere Ezinwa, disclosed this to newsmen in Enugu on Monday through a press statement he personally signed and sent to newsmen.

He stated that the students were selected from both urban and rural schools in the constituency as part of the first phase of unity school registration embarked on by the lawmaker.

He noted that the lawmaker has expressed displeasure with the lack of interest in unity schools among students in his constituency, thus making the current gesture part of his resolve to create awareness on the need for his constituents to start getting admitted into unity schools.

It should be recalled that the lawmaker offered scholarships to over one hundred brilliant secondary school students in his constituency who could not pay their WAEC/NECO fees earlier in the year.

According to Dr. Ezinwa, “Plans are also in top gear to offer different scholarships to over one thousand two hundred secondary school pupils and prizes to schools in the constituency through a highly streamlined selection process later in the year.”

It could also be recalled that Hon. Atu earlier in the year inaugurated a seven-man education board led by Dr. Chidiebere Ezinwa, the Head of Department, Mass Communication in Enugu State University of Science and Technology (ESUT), charged with the responsibility of awarding SSCE and tertiary institution scholarships, bursaries, and other interventions in public primary and secondary schools in Enugu North and South Federal Constituency.

The committee fast-tracked the WAEC registration of over 100 students across public secondary schools in the constituency, with a goal of making it 1500, including the best brains from private secondary schools in Enugu North and South Federal Constituency during the forthcoming WAEC registration for Senior Secondary School students.
