The Benue State chapter of the City Boy Movement has demonstrated its commitment to youth development and academic excellence by awarding full scholarships to the three best graduating Law students from Father Adasu University, Makurdi, in the 2025 class.
The beneficiaries—Miss Ajene Grace Ehi, Miss Abella Chelsea Iwueseseter, and Mr. Edu Bob Isaac—were recognized for their outstanding academic achievements during a modest but impactful presentation ceremony held at the Office of the Commissioner for Youth, Sports and Creativity in Makurdi on February 23, 2026.
The scholarships, which cover full educational funding, are intended to support the recipients as they pursue further studies, professional qualifications, or career advancement in the legal field. The initiative reflects the movement’s focus on empowering young talents, particularly in critical professions that contribute to justice, governance, and societal development.
Representatives of the City Boy Movement described the awards as a deliberate investment in the future generation of leaders from Benue State. They emphasized that recognizing and supporting high-performing students not only motivates academic diligence but also helps retain top talent within the region rather than seeing them migrate elsewhere due to financial constraints.
The brief ceremony brought together officials from the state’s youth and sports ministry, members of the movement, university representatives, family members of the awardees, and well-wishers. Each recipient expressed profound gratitude for the gesture, noting that the financial burden of advanced legal education can be daunting and that the scholarship comes as timely and transformative support.
Father Adasu University, named after the late former Benue State governor, has continued to produce high-caliber graduates in various disciplines, and this latest recognition highlights the institution’s growing reputation for academic rigor in law and related fields.
The City Boy Movement’s scholarship initiative in Benue adds to a growing list of private and community-driven efforts aimed at bridging educational gaps, rewarding merit, and fostering self-reliance among youths in the state. Supporters hope such interventions will inspire more individuals and organizations to invest in education as a pathway to lasting peace, progress, and prosperity in the region.
