Vice-Chancellor of Delta State University, DELSU, Abraka, Professor Eric Arubayi, has given financial assistance worth N4.7 million to deserving students of the institution.
He also presented a Toyota Siena Bus to the Students Union Executive for 2012/2013 academic session, while students on the work-study programme got money for their hard work.
Twenty students benefitted from the DELSU work-study programme while financial assistance was given to 80 best undergraduate students in various faculties.
Presenting the bus and financial award to the students, Arubayi said; “The school since 2010 has been assisting students with N30,000 for first category of best students in each faculty, N20,000 for second and N10,000 for third. But in 2012/2013 section, management decided to review upward to N50,000, N30,000 and N20,000 considering the current economic realities and so today, we are giving out the sum of N4.7 million.”
