No fewer than 25 students of Kwara South origin in various universities across the country were yesterday presented with a sum of N100,000.00 each in the scholarship scheme of Senator Rafiu Adebayo Ibrahim.

Three beneficiaries were picked from each of the seven local governments in Kwara South Senatorial District including Ifelodun, Offa, Oyun, Irepodun, Isin Oke-Ero and Ekiti.
