The University of Ibadan Chapter of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has awarded scholarships worth ₦1.1 million to 11 indigent students to support their academic pursuits for the 2024/2025 academic session.

The beneficiaries were selected after a rigorous screening and interview process conducted by the ASUU selection committee. Over 100 students had applied, but only 11 were found most deserving of the award.

The scholarship was disbursed as follows: two students received ₦200,000 each on behalf of the ASUU National body; five students were awarded ₦100,000 each by the UI branch (ASUU-UI), while four others received ₦50,000 each, sponsored by Professor Tajudeen Akanji, a member of the union.

Speaking at the award presentation held at the ASUU-UI Secretariat, Olajuwon Olayide Extension, Ajibode, the Chairman of ASUU-UI, Dr. Adefemi Afolabi, emphasized the union’s commitment to supporting indigent students despite the ongoing challenges faced by the academic community, including delayed salaries and stalled negotiations with the federal government.
