Committee sets new rules for Fola Abolarin Foundation Scholarship

By Sunday Afolayan


A new set of rules, in addition to confirmation letter of studentship, authenticated by the Head of Department of the candidate’s institution, has been approved by the 2024 Igogo Ekiti Day Organising Committee, which must be met to qualify any candidate applying for the newly instituted Fola Abolarin Foundation medical and nursing scholarship in Igogo Ekiti.


This was ratified during a stakeholders’ crucial meeting yesterday in order to guide against the possibility of awarding the scholarship to unmerited medical students from other towns at the expense of those who are bonafide sons and daughters of Igogo Ekiti.

The new rules are:


i. The candidate’s father must be a native of Igogo Ekiti


ii. A candidate, whose mother only is from Igogo Ekiti is not qualified


iii. Candidate’s application must be accompanied with photocopy of an authentic Certificate of    Local Government Origin, bearing the particulars of the candidate


iv. Evidence of payment of the Annual Igogo Ekiti Development Levy by the candidate’s father for 2024 fiscal year


v. In case of a late father (in rule number iv above), that of the guardian (a native of Igogo Ekiti with evidence of payment of development Levy) may suffice


vi. All applications must reach the designated places not later than 31 August 2024. Any application received after the deadline will not be entertained.

In addition to the above conditions, candidate’s documents must be sent as Word Document Format or PDF to the following WhatsApp numbers, where physical submission is not feasible: Award Committee Chairman (08030871958) and Education Secretary, MOBA LGA (07038409890).
