On Thursday, the Bayelsa State government will launch Higher Education Loan Scheme as part of its efforts to ensure sustainable funding for students in tertiary institutions.
A statement by the Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Mr Daniel Iworiso-Markson, revealed that the unveiling will take place at the Chief DSP Alamieyeseigha Memorial Banquet Hall by 9am.
It was disclosed that the scheme will give indigent students of the state extraction in tertiary institutions the opportunity to complete their education without having to worry about fees.
Mr Iworiso-Markson explained that the scheme is one of the initiatives of Governor Seriake Dickson in almost eight years, to sustain a world class standard of education in the state.
“It is no longer news that Seriake Dickson has completely revolutionized the education sector which has led to Bayelsa state being ranked as one of the top 10 states in the country in education, and the Higher Education Student Loan Scheme is one of the many legacies he will be leaving behind at the end of his administration.
“The scheme will be launched by the Governor along with some respected and high-powered dignitaries across the country. We will also be distributing free text books to public primary and secondary schools in the state.
“We call on all Bayelsans to be present and support this novel initiative by the Governor that will surely make the funding of our students’ tertiary education a lot easier and secure a brighter future for them,” the Commissioner said.
He further stated that the occasion will be chaired by university don and former Vice Chancellor of the University of Port Harcourt, Prof. Nimi Briggs, and would be used also for the distribution of free text books to public primary and secondary schools.
Mr Iworiso-Markson said in the past eight years, Governor Dickson has recorded some achievements in the education sector, including erecting 15 model boarding schools across the state, compulsory free education for over 15,000 students with free tuition, books, uniforms and free feeding.
He added that the Education Trust Fund, which was established to ensure sustainable funding for educational programmes, is also another glaring indication that the Governor was serious when he declared a state of emergency in education during his inaugural speech on February 14, 2012.
