Misaje
Council has published the list of beneficiaries of the scholarship donated by
late Senator Jikong Stephen Yeriwa. 22
beneficiaries according to the list have benefitted from the first phase of the
program for 2015/2016 academic year. Talking to this reporter on phone, the mayor
of Misaje council Sammy Mbgata debunked newspaper reports that the funds were
mismanaged. Harping on why it took the council more than 6 months to get to
beneficiaries, Mayor Sammy said that program had to pass through a council
deliberation before implementation. According to Sammy Mbgata, youths who had
expressed the desire to go to teachers training college were endorsed by the
councilors. “That is why the council had to take time to identify the
beneficiaries in order to help them register for the entrance examination into
GTTC Nkambe,” he added. He also added that the fund is boosting the scholarship scheme earlier setup by Minister Fuh Calistus to build up the weak human resource of the sub Division. Successful candidates, he concluded will also benefit
from the second phase in the form of school fees. See attached list
below.
