Senate Deputy Chief Whip Senator Onyekachi Nwebonyi warned beneficiaries of his scholarship scheme against cultism, prostitution and other social vices, urging them to focus on their studies. He awarded N100 million in scholarships to 930 indigent undergraduate and postgraduate students from Ebonyi North Senatorial District under his foundation's annual education support programme. Nwebonyi said the initiative aims to prevent financially disadvantaged students from dropping out and increased beneficiaries from 500 to 930.
