The Chairman said the national Union encourages branches to emulate the gesture as ABU Chapter offers additional scholarships to two students from 2018 to 2022.

He added that the #1.6m for eight beneficiaries was in addition to the initial four hundred thousand naira for two beneficiaries from the national body which brings the total money to  two million naira.

According to him, the beneficiaries were bright students who have a minimum CGPA of 3.0 and they also have a history of financial challenges. 

Professor Jibril said the scholarship grants to indigene  students, ASUU had also provided #50m worth of palliatives to the internally Displaced persons across the Northern Nigeria.
