The Minority Leader of the 9th Senate, Senator Philip Aduda, has approved N3.5 million for the payment of tuition fees for seven FCT students currently enrolled at the Nigerian Law School.

Senator Aduda announced the donation on Monday while receiving a delegation of the students at his office in Wuse II, Abuja. He stated that the gesture is part of an ongoing effort to encourage indigent residents of the territory to pursue legal studies, adding that supporting the education sector remains one of his top priorities.

While thanking the delegation for the visit, Aduda advised the students to remain committed to their studies and the ethics of the legal profession.

Speaking on behalf of the beneficiaries, Dikko Hassan, who led the delegation, expressed deep appreciation for the N3.5 million intervention.

He noted that the timely support had not only eased a significant financial burden but also restored hope to students who were on the verge of deferring their admission due to lack of funds.
