Mobil Producing Nigeria (MPN) Dashes Out 250 varsity scholarships In Akwa Ibom State

Report by From JOE EFFIONG and AMAOWO UDOFIA

Mobil Producing Nigeria (MPN) has allocated 250 out of its 500 tertiary education scholarships awarded yearly to students of Akwa Ibom State origin.
The scholarships which cover almost all fields of studies are for students studying within and outside Nigeria.

The Executive Director, Government and Public Affairs of the company, Mrs. Gloria Essien-Danner, who disclosed this during the opening ceremony of the 2012 AKS/NNPC/MPN science quiz competition for secondary schools in Akwa Ibom State at the weekend, said the oil company’s commitment to enhancing education through award of scholarships started 20 years ago and would be sustained.

Represented by an official of the company, Mr. Emmanuel Eti, Essien-Danner said the science quiz started at the local government elimination series and progressed to the state level.
She stated that the company in its attempt to support education had sponsored many children from communities in its host local government areas and enrolled them in private secondary schools in different parts of the state.
Addressing the participants, the Akwa Ibom State Commissioner for Education, Mr. Nseabasi Akpan commended MPN for undertaking such corporate responsibility and facilitating the yearly quiz competition, with the aim of broadening the knowledge and sharpening science skills among students in the school system.
“We can see the enormous gains recorded since the inception of this important academic/brain sapping competition which has thrown a big challenge on students by placing a great demand on them. By this, students will be forced to cover the curriculum set by WAEC and NECO in the senior school certificate examination thereby promoting better performance,’’ he said.

Akpan who was represented by the permanent secretary in his ministry, commended the state government for laying a sound foundation through the free and fair compulsory education as well as the Science Teachers Association of Nigeria (STAN) for organising the competition. He appealed to other corporate and multi-national organisations, groups and individuals to identify with the state government’s drive towards the provision of qualitative education.
The state Chairman, STAN, Mr. Udeme Udofia, in an address said a pre-competition item-writing workshop was held for selected teachers and subject specialists, who are certified national and international examiners, to raise standard questions. This was aimed at guaranteeing the credibility of the programme, arouse increased participation by students and teachers as well as assuring public acceptability.

Senator O. Tinubu Offered Scholarship 26 Indigent Students Of Tertiary Institutions In Lagos Yesterday

Senator Tinubu thanked the people who elected her and called for more cooperation and unity of purpose critical to the realisation of lofty political objectives. She reiterated her commitment to the cherished goals of ACN, including fiscal federalism, building of a compassionate society, social change and focused development.

The senator said, although lawmakers lacked budgetary resources to award contracts, she decided to fill the gap by focusing  on constituency initiatives in aid of women and youths in Lagos Central District.

Mrs. Tinubu said as a member of the Senate Committees, including Trade and Investment, Marine Transport, Women Affairs, Education, Millennium Development Goals, Labour, Employment and Productivity, and Constitution Review, she had been involved in efforts to articulate positive changes in the society.

She added: “Six months is such a short time to effect changes, but be assured that indeed, efforts have begun and critical steps are being taken”.
Senator Tinubu listed the challenges confronting the country, including poverty, mass unemployment, insecurity, and lack of access to education, poor health and other preventable difficulties, uging the Federal Government to rise to the occasion.
She reiterated her belief in the educational ideals of the late sage, Chief Obafemi Awolowo, assuring that the committee would wade into ASUU/Federal Government dispute. She also said the Senate’s Education Committee has waded into the face-off among the students, JAMB and  vice chancellors over the post-JAMB tests.

Senator Tinubu also spoke on constitution review, saying that the exercise should restore true federalism and state and community police.
She added: “I am presently seeking the cooperation of the Senate for the passage and subsequent implementation of a bill on social security. I am also working with others on a bill towards ensuring that pragmatic measures are put in place to address the plight of widows, dependent children and orphans in our society. Work on these and other bills are on course.”
