The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), Joint Campus Council (JCC), Enugu State Chapter, has commended the Executive Governor of Enugu State, Peter Mbah, for approving scholarships for more than 760 beneficiaries under the 2025/2026 Enugu State Local Scholarship Scheme.

In a statement signed by the Chairman of NANS JCC Enugu State, Comrade Okeke Kelvin Chekwube, the student body described the governor's decision as a significant investment in education, human capital development, and youth empowerment.

According to the association, the scholarship scheme, which covers over 500 undergraduate students, 100 postgraduate students, and 160 public sector teachers drawn from the 17 Local Government Areas of Enugu State, demonstrates the administration's commitment to making quality education accessible to deserving citizens.

NANS noted that Governor Mbah's administration has consistently prioritised education through substantial budgetary allocations, the construction of Smart Green Schools, the expansion of technical and vocational education, and other transformative initiatives aimed at strengthening the state's educational sector.

The association further stated that the scholarship programme would ease the financial burden on many families while encouraging academic excellence and enabling more students to pursue higher education without financial constraints.

The student body also applauded the governor's assurance that additional beneficiaries would be included in subsequent phases of the scholarship scheme, describing the move as an inclusive approach that ensures no deserving student is denied access to education because of economic hardship.

NANS JCC Enugu State described the governor's educational reforms as positioning Enugu as a leading model for educational transformation in Nigeria, while reaffirming the support and appreciation of students across the state for his people-centred leadership.

The association concluded by praying for God's continued wisdom, strength, and good health for Governor Peter Mbah as he continues to implement policies aimed at improving the welfare and future of the people of Enugu State.
