Aminat Yusuf, who received a 5.0 cumulative grade point average (CGPA) and graduated as the top legal student from Lagos State University (LASU), would be paid by the Edo State Government, according to Governor of Edo State Godwin Obaseki, and her law school education will be sponsored.
The governor announced extra rewards have been awarded for the exceptional student through Head of Service Anthony Okungbowa.
This is an update on our daughter, Aminat Yusuf, following the Government of Edo State honouring her in recognition of her academic performance at LASU for graduating with a flawless CGPA of 5.00, he added.
“After this accomplishment, the government automatically granted her a job, and the governor has since approved further things for her beyond the job.
“The governor has directed that Aminat Yusuf will be sponsored on scholarship for one year in the Nigerian Law School and that the government will be responsible for the provision of all her needs till she completes the programme.”
He added: “The governor also approved that for every month that she will be in law school, she will receive an up-keep allowance equivalent to the salary of a State Counsel, which is almost N200,000 naira.
“This is in recognition of the feat she achieved in LASU. We are proud of her achievement and hope she would join us after her law school programme as we will write to NYSC to ensure that she embarks on her one-year compulsory youth service in the State.”
