The Alago Agenda has defended the Executive Secretary of the Scholarship Board over allegations bordering on a N2 million donation, clarifying that the said amount was a personal pledge and not from the bursary fund.
The group said reports linking the donation to the mismanagement or diversion of students’ bursary funds were false and misleading.
According to the Alago Agenda, the Scholarship Board boss made the donation in his personal capacity as a pledge at an event, and not from the official account or funds meant for bursary and scholarship payments.
The group urged the public to disregard claims suggesting that public funds were used for personal donation, describing such insinuations as an attempt to tarnish the image of the Board’s leadership.
It reaffirmed its support for the Scholarship Board boss and called for objective reporting on matters concerning student welfare in the state.
