Forty-six Nigerian students in tertiary institutions across the country have emerged as the first set of beneficiaries of the Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI) as the First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, flags off the National Scholarship Programme for Tertiary Education. She said: “With the National Scholarship Programme (NASP), we envision a Nigeria where every child, regardless of their circumstances, can access the best education available. “The inaugural National Scholarship Programme of the Renewed Hope Initiative is a four-year scholarship programme of One Million Naira per year and a laptop for each beneficiary. In a related development, a total of 370 farmers across the country are billed to benefit from the intervention of RHI. In health, another key intervention area for the initiative is a partnership with UNICEF to streamline and sanitise the process of birth registration.
