Jegede said interested applicants must meet the requirements and also maintain the educational qualification of a minimum required Cumulative Grade Point Aggregate (upper credit), before being considered for the award.

“First Class Students automatically qualify for the award, as well as physically-challenged students.

“The screening test which will be computer-based, holds from December  2nd to December 4th, and will be conducted by a consultancy firm.

“Successful applicants in the computer based test will later be invited for oral interview,’’ she said.

Jegede said that the sale of forms which started on October 27th, would close on November 21st.

The award value is N200, 000 for undergraduates; N300, 000 for Master’s Degree and N400, 000 for the Doctorate degree.
