In fulfilment of his campaign promise to National Association of Itu Students (worldwide), and less than 48 hours before he leaves office, the Executive Chairman of Itu LGA, Hon. Barr. Etetim Onuk, yesterday, flagged off the payment of bursary for all Itu students who are studying in different tertiary institutions in Nigeria.
Performing the official flag-off, the representative of the Deputy Governor, Mr. Sam Omiom, who is the Director of Administration, Deputy Governor's Office, extolled the unbeatable legacies of Barr. ONUK and urged the students to make judicious use of the funds allocated, and presented them with bursary grants.
Responding, the Worldwide President, National Association of Itu Students NAITS, Comr. Otobong Edidiong Esara , and the students' body Adviser, Comr. Amb Hogan Hogan, poured heartfelt encomiums on the Itu Council helmsman, for coming to the plight of Itu Students, and pledged to make judicious use of the funds given them.
The flag-off was well attended by entire Itu Council, including the Head of Local Government Service, Mr. Dominic Utin, Councillors, Council Secretary, Supervisors, and the entire Itu NULGE leadership.
