The Presidential Amnesty Programme Office on Thursday announced that 60 students on its scholarship scheme had made first class in various competitive disciplines between 2016 and 2023 at diverse partnering universities.

Dr Charles Ariye, Presidential Amnesty Programme Head of Education revealed in a statement.

Ariye declared that their disciplines include electrical/electronics engineering, computer science, civil engineering, accounting, law, petroleum engineering, physics, international relations, and biochemistry among others.

His reverence comes at the aftermath of a success by another student on the scholarship scheme, Kemien Egbekun, who graduated with a Cumulative Grade Point Average of 4.77 (first class) in Law at the Michael and Cecilia Ibru University, Delta State.

Two other students sponsored by the Presidential Amnesty Programme at the same school, Oladapo Damilola and Toikumo Prosper, also got a second-class upper-division grade in Law.

They all participated in the university’s 6th convocation ceremony on September 6, 2024.

The Presidential Amnesty Programme boss ascribed the feats of the scholarship graduates to the strong support they usually receive from President Bola Tinubu.

He stated, “We are elated by the fantastic academic performances of the Presidential Amnesty Programme scholarship scheme students. Achieving such impressive grades as first-class and second-class upper division is no mean academic feat.

“These achievements reinforce the fact that the PAP is on the right track implementing its mandate. We are delighted and encouraged by this fact, and are taking appropriate steps to deepen efforts at achieving more in educational and vocational initiatives.

“We must thank President Bola Tinubu for his strong support for the programme and the undying love he has for the people of the Niger Delta through his Renewed Hope Agenda. He is committed to sustainable peace, stability, and development in the region. He needs to be appreciated and encouraged also.”
