By Chidex Onyemah.

The Youth Fellowship, Christ Holy Church International has offered scholarship to two indigent youths to study Computer Hardware Engineering and Multimedia Technology at the NationBuilders College of Technology, Asaba (NABCOTECH) after multiple stage screening exercise.

The scholarship, which was officially presented to the beneficiaries Miss Obioha Ezinne Marycynthia and Master Ebele Ifeanyi Desmond at the Adadioranma Hall, NationBuilders College of Technology, Asaba, on Friday, November 4, 2022, shall cover the registration, tuition and accomodation fees of the beneficiaries for their two-year study programs.

Presenting the scholarship certificates, the International Chairman of the Youth Fellowship, Dr. Smatt Aguba revealed that the scholarship scheme was an initiative to empower the youths of Christ Holy Church International.

"This scheme is not basically for those with high O'level scores, but to those who are less privileged. The Youth Fellowship, through her Corporate Social Scheme, intends to give back to the Nation Builders Commonwealth, which shall be a bi-annual exercise. This shall continue, as the Fellowship plans on setting up Youth Fellowship Scholarship Trust Fund, to sponsor more youths of the church" he said.

Dr. Aguba charged the scholarship beneficiaries to be productive, innovative, well behaved and serious with their studies. He promised to often pay surprise visits to the College to monitor their academic and moral performances.

In his words: "As beneficiaries of the first edition of this scholarship scheme, you are automatically our brand ambassadors and as a result of this, you must make sure you make yourselves outstanding role models among your colleagues. We shall not hesitate to terminate this scholarship, if you are found involved in cultism, examination malpractice, sexual harrasment etc."

The Youth Chairman encouraged them to take advantage of this opportunity to rewrite their family stories. He urged them, not to let their family backgrounds, pull them down.

Also speaking, the Registrar, NationBuilders College of Technology, Asaba, Engr Stella Emecheta, commended the Youth Fellowship of Christ Holy Church International for providing the scholarship scheme to sponsor indigent youths.

She encouraged the beneficiaries to put in their bests, informing them of the numerous prizes already in place for the best graduating student of each set.

Responding, one of the scholarship beneficiaries, Obioha Ezinne said she had always wished to win a scholarship for her tertiary education. She thanked the Youth Fellowship and promised to be a good ambassador of both the fellowship and the church.

Also present at the event were; the Vice Chairman of the Youth Fellowship, Hon. Charles Ideli, the General Secretary of the Youth Fellowship, Bro Chinedu Odiokwu, the Acting Librarian, NABCOTECH ; Miss Joyce Ezeonyido, among others.
