Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has increased scholarships and bursaries for students in tertiary institutions who are of Lagos State origin.

He said his administration would now pay N225,000 and N60,000 as scholarships and bursaries to indigene students, as against the existing N200,000 and N50,000.

Sanwo-Olu spoke during a One-Day Interactive Session with student union leaders and stakeholders organized by the Ministry of Tertiary Education.

The governor also announced scholarships for the less privileged and physically challenged students in public tertiary institutions, noting that the scholarship would not be limited to Lagos indigenes alone.

He also announced the appointment of four former Students Union leaders as his Senior Special Assistants (SSAs). The appointed SSAs were Eniola Opeyemi, Kayode Samuel, Giwa Moore, and Adeola Adewunmi.
