Anambra State Governor Chukwuma Soludo has offered scholarships to three pupils of Boys Secondary School, Igboukwu, Aguata Local Government Area.

The beneficiaries, who constructed a miniature power generating set, house and car respectively, included a SS2 pupil from Ikéngà Aguata, whose scholarship will be up to university level as well as a Primary 5 pupil, who wants to proceed to seminary school after his secondary school education.

Announcing the scholarship during the inauguration of an auditorium renovated by the alumni association of the school, Soludo said the children's feats were a practical demonstration of the knowledge they had acquired.

He said the innovations were at the foundation of what his administration is trying to promote, stressing that the resources available to government could not do development work alone.

'The children signify that the emphasis is not only on what you know, but what you can do. These kids have demonstrated it.

The governor appreciated the old boys of the institution...
