As part of measures to help in advancing education especially among the less privileged, a renowned Nigerian philanthropist and business mogul, Sir Alex Ikwechegh has launched a scholarship scheme for indigent students in Abia State.

ABN TV gathered reports that the program which will kick off September, 2019 will cover the three senatorial districts in the state.

Both primary and secondary schools students whose parents cannot afford to pay their tuition fees will benefit from the scheme.

Ikwechegh in a chat with our correspondent revealed that he is always touched whenever he sees children who are intelligent but can’t go to school because their parents are financially handicapped.

He said the scholarship will be given to over 200 students who are doing well academically and these children will be selected from various villages in Abia state.
