Abuja—The Senator representing Bayelsa West Senatorial district and former Governor of Bayelsa State, Senator Henry Seriake Dickson has presented an educational support grant to students of Bayelsa origin who are currently in the 2021/22 session of the Nigerian Law School.
Beneficiaries of the scheme are to receive N100,000 each.
Dickson who made this known in a post on his official Facebook page, revealed that he has also approved the sum of N870,000 educational support grants for Miss. Emmanuel Ebilaere Favour, a Bayelsan student studying in Zanakuro Iscom University, Benin Republic.
The grant according to him has already been paid directly to the school account.
He averred that throughout his public career, he has left no one in doubt about the primacy of position he attaches to the issue of education, building educational institutions, infrastructure, policies and the development of human capital in general.
“This was why as governor I awarded unprecedented number of scholarships, both local and foreign even in a recession.
“Now in my present capacity as senator, I have continued to use the Henry Seriake Dickson Foundation (HSDF) to support Education, scholarships, sports and human capital development in which ever little way I can.
“We have kick-started this today as the first batch and some others will follow. I congratulate the awardees and urge them to accept this as a token of my appreciation for their efforts and to encourage them to do more in their educational pursuits.
“As someone who has always been passionate about education, I deliberately extended this batch of beneficiaries beyond my Senatorial District in the same way I extended scholarships and other opportunities as governor to all Ijaws outside Bayelsa,” the post reads in part.
The former Governor revealed that his constituency office and officials will follow up on the Post Graduate Educational Support Program for PhD and masters students.
