He further said this move was also geared at bringing relief to families that were unable to meet up with their needs due to the economic challenges in the country.
“We want to take this burden away from the parents so that their wards can concentrate on their studies to prepare for the examination”, he said
Specifying the qualifying requirements for selection of students to benefit from the empowerment program, the Member said though the offer is not limited to Local Government Area of residence, the student must possess photocopies of last term’s result for those still in secondary school; letter of recommendation for those still in secondary school and must have a minimum credit pass in English language and Mathematics.
