The lawmaker representing Burutu II constituency in the Delta State House of Assembly, Pereotu Oloye, on Saturday, inaugurated the disbursement of bursary allowances to 76 indigent students from his constituency.

The beneficiaries are undergraduates enrolled in various higher institutions across the country.

At the event, which involved an online credit alert to the students, Mr Oloye said the initiative aligned with his commitment to prioritise education and human capital development within his constituency.
