“In line with the administration’s culture of rewarding excellence, some first-class students have had the fortune of been sent abroad on scholarship. This is in addition to giving all Law School students and graduate students in other fields scholarships
“The attention of Ekiti State government has been drawn to a trending report on the value of an award instituted by a private organisation in Ekiti State University, Ado – Ekiti.
