The beneficiaries are spread equally across the state’s three senatorial districts. The initiative aims to eliminate financial barriers that often prevent deserving students from pursuing and achieving a quality education.

Dekeri explained the final modalities for the equitable distribution of the 10,000 WAEC forms that he had previously proposed to pay for indigent students in Edo State who are scheduled to sit for the examinations next year.
