In a statement issued by the organisation’s Executive Secretary, Dr. Olufemi Fajolu, it noted that the release of the list followed a rigorous selection process coordinated by iSI’s operations Vice President, Mrs. Hanatu Banjoko.
He stated, “The awards offered by iSI will pay for standardised tests such as the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) and the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). Scores from the two tests are required by top universities in North America and Europe.”
For her part, iSI Scholar Initiative BoT Chair, Mrs. Tolu Ewherido, stated, “As an organisation, we have committed ourselves to building a pipeline filled with talented Nigerians whose capacities would be tapped for the needed development of the nation.”
