A student on the scholarship scheme of the Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP), Kemien Egbekun, has made First Class in Law with a Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of 4.77 at the Michael and Cecilia Ibru University (MCIU), Agbara-Otor, Delta State.
Egbekun’s performance has increased the number of first-class graduates recorded by the PAP scholarship scheme between 2016 and 2024 to 60.
Two other students sponsored by the programme in the same university – Oladapo Damilola and Toikumo Prosper – also graduated with a Second Class Upper Division in Law.
The PAP graduates were announced during the university’s sixth convocation ceremony on September 6.
PAP’s Head of Education, Dr. Charles Ariye, confirmed that the scheme produced 60 first-class graduates in competitive disciplines between 2016 and 2023 at various partnering universities.
He listed the disciplines as electrical/electronics, engineering, computer science, civil engineering, accounting, law, petroleum engineering, physics, international relations, chemistry, biochemistry, political science, medical laboratory science, microbiology, industrial chemistry, among others.
Stakeholders praised Egbekun and her colleagues for adding to the constantly growing number of the PAP scholarship scheme beneficiaries who had scored similar excellent grades in various courses of study at partnering institutions.
The PAP Administrator, Dr. Dennis Otuaro, expressed delight at the sterling academic performances of students sponsored by the programme.
