No fewer than 47 students of the Enugu State College of Health Technology, Oji River, have been awarded scholarships by the Oji River Local Government Council.
Chairman of Oji River Local Government Area, Mr. Greg Anyaegbudike, told newsmen on Wednesday at the council’s secretariat in Oji River that the beneficiaries of the scholarship were indigenes of the council area.
Anyaegbudike noted that the beneficiaries were admitted for various programmes, which included radiography, pharmacy technician, public health, community health extension worker, junior community health extension worker, environmental health officer, medical laboratory technician, and opticianry.
The chairman, who did not mention the amount of the scholarship, noted that the exciting part of the scholarship scheme is that every applicant was accepted and offered admission.
“We are excited to announce the successful award of scholarships to 47 applicants who secured admission into the Enugu State College of Health Technology, Oji River.
“We (council) got the forms and paid for the applicants, followed up the admission process, and had all the fees paid, and receipts handed over to the applicants.
