Reacting to the achievement, Otuaro congratulated the graduates for their dedication and successful completion of their programmes. He noted that their accomplishments demonstrate the positive impact of the Federal Government’s investment in education and human capital development in the Niger Delta.

According to him, the expansion of the scholarship scheme aligns with President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, which seeks to improve educational opportunities and equip young people in the region with the skills needed to contribute meaningfully to national development.

He reaffirmed the agency’s resolve to continue expanding access to educational opportunities for qualified youths despite criticism, stressing that investment in education remains one of the most effective ways to secure lasting peace and economic growth in the region.
