…Dickson congratulates students, thanks Varsity
Bayelsa State Governor, Henry Seriake Dickson has described the 21
students on state government scholarship to the prestigious Lincoln
University in the United States as worthy Ambassadors and pride to the
state and their families.
The applause was contained in a congratulatory message by Dickson, sent to
the students, who all graduated on Saturday May 12 2017, for making the
Bayelsa State proud, having successfully concluded their studies in flying
colours.
Dickson expressed delight over one of the students, Perewari Victor Pere,
who graduated with First Class Honours and the 20 others for their
academic excellence.
According to him, they have by their accomplishments, carved a niche for
themselves and placed the name of Bayelsa State in the global map of
states with exceptional and unique academic endowments.
Dickson also used the opportunity to express his deepest appreciation to
the management of Lincoln University for their understanding and
cooperation, despite the state’s inability to remit the needed school fees
of the students, as at when they were due.
He, however, assured them that, with $500, 000 US dollars already released
to them, concerted efforts were being made to pay up the balance within
the shortest possible time.
The governor stressed that, the government and the people of Bayelsa State
would remain eternally grateful to the authorities of Lincoln University.
