By Joseph Iyaji | Akahi News
Yala youths under the National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN), Yala Chapter, have publicly expressed deep gratitude to the Senator representing Cross River North, Senator Jarigbe Agom Jarigbe, for his recent bursary intervention that is providing direct financial support to students across the district.
In a message signed by Comrade Grace Odey, Deputy Coordinator of NYCN Yala Chapter, which has been circulating online, the group described the initiative as a “true investment in the future of our youths” and a timely relief for struggling families.
A Lifeline for Students
According to the appreciation statement, Senator Jarigbe’s bursary scheme has successfully reached 500 students across the senatorial district, with Yala Local Government Area accounting for 100 beneficiaries. The support, they noted, has gone beyond financial assistance to serve as a symbol of renewed hope, ensuring that many students can continue their education without the burden of mounting financial constraints.
Akahi News learnt that the intervention comes at a period when many households are grappling with economic hardship, and tuition costs remain a major obstacle for young people pursuing higher education. For many parents and guardians in Yala, the bursary has eased a significant portion of their financial burden.
Youth Council Commends Senator’s Leadership
Comrade Grace Odey, speaking on behalf of Yala youths, commended Senator Jarigbe for prioritising education and demonstrating an unwavering commitment to youth empowerment. She emphasised that such gestures are not just acts of generosity but reflect visionary leadership rooted in service to the people.
“Your kind gesture of empowering 500 students across our senatorial district, including 100 beneficiaries from Yala, is not just an act of generosity but a true investment in the future of our youths. This timely intervention has lifted many burdens and rekindled hope in the hearts of our students and their families,” the statement read in part.
She further prayed that God would continue to bless Senator Jarigbe with wisdom, strength, and divine guidance, adding that his legacy of impact in education and youth development would endure for generations.
