The All Progressives Congress (APC) gubernatorial candidate for the upcoming September 21 election in Edo State, Senator Monday Okpebholo, has offered scholarships to youths from the state amidst ongoing nationwide protests against hardship and hunger in the country.

Aligning with the future of young people, the Edo Central Senator also hosted a two-way session that not only engaged but inspired the youth of the state.

As protests sweep across the nation and entertainment shows like BBNaija capture widespread attention, Okpebholo chose a different path—one that prioritises the real issues facing the country.

He awarded scholarships worth millions of Naira to deserving students, a development seen as an investment in the future of young people.

According to him, the move was not just about financial aid; it’s about empowering young people to chase their dreams and build a better life for themselves and their families.

Okpebholo, often hailed as the ‘People’s Governor’, used the opportunity to share his comprehensive plans for the youth of Edo State.

Promising to create a thriving environment where young people can flourish, he noted that his government, if elected governor of Edo State, would improve education, create job opportunities, and foster entrepreneurship.

His plans include setting up vocational training centers, creating youth-focused agricultural programs, and enhancing digital skills training—all designed to equip the youth with the tools they need to succeed in a rapidly changing world.
