Three young indigenes of Abia North Senatorial District have departed Nigeria for China to further their postgraduate studies under the Orji Uzor Kalu Foundation Scholarship Programme in partnership with the Chinese Scholarship Council (CSC).

The beneficiaries are:

1) Sunny O. Idika, from Ohafor Ward, Ohafia LGA, admitted for an MBA at Zhejiang Normal University, Jinhua.

2) Emmanuel Iheakachukwu Odoemelam, from Eziama Agbo Ward, Nneato, Umunneochi LGA, admitted for a Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry at Beijing University of Chemical Technology (BUCT).

3) Kingsley Onwukwe Orji, from Igbere Ward A, Bende LGA, admitted for an MBA at Zhejiang Normal University, Jinhua.

The fully funded scholarship package covers tuition fees, accommodation, health insurance, and monthly stipends, ensuring that the students concentrate on their academic pursuits without financial worries.

The initiative, driven by the Orji Uzor Kalu Foundation and facilitated by Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, Senator representing Abia North, underscores his commitment to youth empowerment, human capital development, and providing international exposure to young constituents.

Senator Kalu, through the Foundation, has over the years demonstrated a passion for education, with several youths from Abia North already benefiting from similar opportunities to study in top institutions abroad.

The departure of the new set of beneficiaries further strengthens the Foundation’s vision of building a knowledge-driven society and equipping the next generation with global competence to contribute to Nigeria’s development.
