LAPO gives research grants to students

The Lift Above Poverty Organisation (LAPO) has given research grants to nine post graduate students in four Nigerian universities.

Six students undergoing their Masters programme at the Nmamdi Azikiwe University, Ambrose Alli University and University of Benin were given N100,000 support grant.

Three others studying Sociology at the University of Ibadan were given N200,000 each as support grant for their Ph.D thesis.

Chairman of Governing Council of LAPO, Godwin Ehigiamusoe, said his decision to begin giving out research grant for post graduate students was to help build future leaders.
Godwin said many countries are growing because students’ researches are well funded.

He promised to sustain the grant in addition to the scholarships his organisation provides for secondary school pupils.
One of the beneficiaries, Chinwuba Oyinye, said the grant would help her complete her project work
