We encourage the beneficiaries to study hard for the exam as we will be adopting the best candidate with over 250 score in the exam for a full blown scholarship, where the candidate has chosen our prestigious Lagos State University. The Vision is simple, by the year 2024, we plan to have 5 university scholars or graduates whom we can proudly say we saw through the university, with God on our sides.
