An Imo State indigene, Miss Eberechukwu Felicity Umeh, from Umuezike Amorie Ubulu in Oru West Local Government Area, has bagged full scholarship award from Noble Sir Sebastian G. Duru KSJI (Omenka) Memorial Foundation to Study Nursing at Princess College of Nursing Sciences Mgbirichi.
The scholarship Award is under the leadership of the CEO/Founder of the Princess College of Nursing Sciences Mgbirichi, Dr. Princess Ngozi Duru.
Handing over tuition fees cheque, a set of Nursing uniform and the College handbook to the beneficiary on Monday at the College Auditorium, Dr. Princess Ngozi Duru who hails from Amaigbo in Nwangele LGA, noted that the Indigent Scholarship Award was geared to encourage Poor Students who are smart to acquire quality education in Nursing that will enable them to have bright future, become useful to themselves, families and community for enhanced peace, social comfort and economic prosperity.
Dr. Duru stressed that the Scholarship Award was purely based on merit as those who passed the written exam were painstakingly engaged in an oral exam, following a thorough investigation to sincerely ascertain whether or not they were indigent students.
“Forms for the Indigent Scholarship was thrown open to the indigent applicants who are brainy, many applied and exam was taken. It was a Basic O’Level examination conducted tightly to avoid cheating. Those who passed the exam were subjected to oral examination.
“Eberechukwu came 3rd in the written exam, but scored 95% in the oral exam. Others were thrown out because they did not pass the oral interview, as well as not being indigent.
“We thoroughly researched about her background. We found out that all she told us was true. Hence the Scholarship was awarded to her. She is outstanding when it comes to academics. The scholarship will last till she graduates.
“Noble Sir Sebastian G. Duru KSJI (Omenka) Memorial Scholarship Foundation will carter for her Nursing expenses including a monthly stipend till she graduates from the Nursing College. She and other smart ones have the chance to travel to America on graduation”, Duru stated.
Duru, who hinted that “Scholar Scholarship” was earlier awarded to Chioma Jessica Uzorma, an indigene of Amaigbo in Nwangele LGA, having emerged best student in the clinical department of the institution, who is doing well academically, remarked that the “Indigent Scholarship” was spurred in memory of her father, Noble Sir Sebastian G. Duru, KSJI (Omenka), an educationist, for encouraging education, adding that he helped her to reach her crescendo in Nursing Practice.
Dr. Duru advised Eberechukwu and other students to keep hope alive as they study hard, live good moral life, abide by the rules and regulations of the institution, pointing out that Nursing is not an easy profession, as it requires intelligence, dedication and huge finance.
Promising to sustain good moral conduct while studying hard to acquire academic excellence, Umeh Eberechukwu Felicity, thanked Dr. Princess Ngozi Duru, staff and fellow students for the show of love, saying she will not disappoint them, her parents and siblings.
Mother of the beneficiary, Mrs. Maureen Umeh, who was filled with joy, prayed to God to continually bless those behind Noble Sir Sebastian G. Duru KSJI (Omenka) Memorial Scholarship Foundation for meritoriously awarding full scholarship to her daughter who she identified as brainy and responsible, but was unable to further her education for Seven years due to funds.
The scholarship Award beneficiary, Miss Eberechukwu Felicity Umeh who was accompanied to the hand over ceremony by her mother, Mrs. Maureen Umeh, younger brother and cousin sister also prayed for repose of the soul of Noble Sir Sebastian G. Duru KSJI (Omenka).

PDP Stakeholders’ Meeting: Anyanwu Denies Leaving PDP, … Rekindles Hope of Party Members, Empowers Ward, LGA, State Exco with over 150m The National Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, Senator Samuel Nnaemeka Anyanwu has denied rumour that he was leaving the Peoples Democratic Party, assuring party members that he would remain in the party even if everyone leaves. “Do not be deceived, confused or misled by anyone, I am in PDP and will remain in the party until our mandate is achieved. Take note that ADC or APP will never win any election in Imo state and Nigeria at large. Anyone deceiving you or spreading falsehood that PDP is dead is only suffering from schizophrenia” “It’s only in PDP that you can find matured party members, our party is like the old NPP where it regarded human beings. Those who claim to be members and leaders of ruling party are finding it difficult to feed, but in PDP, we are feeding well even when we are not in power” Anyanwu made this declaration on Wednesday while addressing members during the New Year Special Stakeholders meeting at party secretariate, Owerri. Accordingly, Anyanwu, in appreciation of the dedication of party members, stakeholders, ward, LGA and State Exco lavishly rewarded them with gift items valued over 150m tagged; “New Year Unity Gift” Adding further, Senator Anyanwu expressed delight that despite minor internal wrangling that almost derailed the vision of PDP few months ago, party members in the state remained dedicated and steadfast with the party. According to him, the trailer load of over 1000 bags of rice and other items to blend it were not to induce them, but to appreciate are them for working for the party in the state. He reiterated the need for all hands to be on deck towards building a viable and formidable political party in the state, adding that those stagging a gang up against PDP in Imo State and Nigeria do not have what it takes to dislodge the party in any contest. He called on party leaders, critical stakeholders and members across the 305 wards in the state not to be deterred or allow political shenanigans of unstable politicians to distract them from working for the party. In attendance include, the 27 LGA Chairmen, women leaders, youth leaders, State Working Committee, Southeast leaders, former LGA Chairmanship candidates, stakeholders, critical leaders and special citizens, among others.
