The League of Anambra Professionals, LAP, has unveiled an educational programme tagged ‘Future Forward Scholarship Initiative’ in Awka, during which the group empowered thirty-six indigenous students from the three senatorial zones of the state who recently gained university admission, and expressed intent to expand the number of beneficiaries.

Others who spoke at the event, including a guest from Maryland, USA, Dr. Mrs. Ngozi Achike, and a member of the Education Committee of LAP, Kasie Abone, urged the beneficiaries to be exemplary in conduct and maintain high academic and behavioral standards, knowing that grace met them through LAP and that eyes are on them.


The beneficiaries, including Chioma Ekwueme, a 100-level Anatomy student at Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, and Nnaji Chima, a 100-level Microbiology student at Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University, Igbariam, promised to make the best use of the opportunity in order to achieve success and give back to society in the future.


In his remarks on the essence of scholarship and human capital development, the Anambra State Chairman of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, Dr. Odogwu Emeka Odogwu, represented by Ukpa Ewa, commended LAP’s vision, commitment and investment in the next generation, and expressed strong belief that the scholarship initiative will expand and accommodate more indigent students across Anambra, thereby giving young people a fair and just opportunity to succeed and ensuring that no one is left behind.
