Over 70 Nigerians Awarded Hungarian Scholarships

Federal Government has awarded postgraduate and undergraduate Hungarian scholarships to 72 Nigerians.

The scholars would be departing Nigeria on September 22 and 23, 2023.

Minister of State for Education, Dr. Yusuf Sununu, at a pre-departure briefing with the beneficiaries in Abuja on Thursday, urged them to protect the image of the country.

Sununu also tasked them to continue to portray the good qualities they have been exposed to and be willing to learn and relearn as they begin the first phase of their life journeys.

According to the minister, in spite of the global economic meltdown, the numbers of development partners have increased and many of them now offer scholarships to Nigerians.

He listed the active countries to include Hungary, China, Algeria, Romania, Morocco, Serbia, Mexico, Egypt and others non regulars including Macedonia, Poland, South Korea, Greece, Japan, Tunisia and Turkey.

“In order to reciprocate their good gestures, Nigeria also offered scholarship awards to China and Romania in the past and hope to reactivate the gesture as these countries and others indicate interest.

“To all the awardees, I say you have all overcome many challenges to get to where you are today, and everyone of you has achieved success in your own ways.

“I want to enjoin the parents of the awardees to always uphold them in prayers and encourage them with sound advice at all times so as to make you and Nigeria proud by being worthy ambassadors,” he said.

He called on the beneficiaries not to hesitate to return to the country at the end of their programmes to assist in making Nigeria a better place by contributing their quotas.

On his part, the Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Education, David Adejo, said the scholarship was a testimony of the incredible achievements of the beneficiaries of this year’s BEA Scholarship Awards.

Adejo admonished the awardees to be good ambassadors of their parents and the country, while advising them to utilise the opportunity to acquire requisite skills that may be available in their host country for Nigeria’s development.

Mr Ayodeji Akerele, who spoke on behalf of the awardees promised the Federal Government and their parents to portray the good image of the country as well as return to contribute their quotas to national development. 

Mr Solomon Sunday also spoke on behalf of the parents expressed appreciation to the Federal Government for finding their children worthy of the scholarship.

  SSANU, NASU threaten strike over withheld salaries The Joint Action Committee of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions have threatened to disrupt industrial peace in universities should the government fail to release the withheld salaries of members. The salaries were seized by the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari during their strike in 2022. The unions, in a joint letter signed on Friday by the President of SSANU, Muhammed Ibrahim and General Secretary of NASU, Peters Adeyemi, questioned the rationale with which the government released four months withheld salaries to members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities but failed to release the withheld salaries of non-academic staff. The unions noted that they would no longer be able to assure the government of industrial peace in universities should the amounts owed by the government are not released. Earlier, the uni...
