The bursary increment and other benefits, according to the board secretary, were aimed at supporting the educational needs of students of Lagos State origin to enable them cope with the present economic reality. While appealing to the students over the little delay in the payment of the remaining 2020/2021 and 2021/2022 bursary/scholarship benefits, the Board Secretary explained that the delay was necessitated by the on-going data-cleansing/verification exercise across all institutions by the state government to ensure that only qualified students of Lagos State origin benefited from the scheme.
The Board Secretary assured that prompt payment of both bursary and scholarship benefits for the outstanding years would commence immediately after the on-going data cleansing/verification exercise is completed.
