PRO-CHANCELLOR’S SCHOLARSHIP AWARD: A PROMISE KEPT
A University is as good as the quality of its staff. Baze University is a brand that speaks for itself: excellence in university education; superb infrastructure, high quality staff with diversity, serene and conducive environment, robust deployment of IT services, stable academic calendar, etc.
At the 6th Convocation Ceremony in November 2019, Sen. Y.D Baba-Ahmed, PhD, FSAN, Founder & Pro-chancellor (PC) of Baze University, Abuja announced an offer of full tuition scholarships to any five deserving junior staff. This was part of ongoing efforts at capacity building and incentivizing staff in the university, and he directed an immediate implementation by Management. In January 2020, the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Tahir Mamman, SAN, approved the criteria for the implementation of the Pro-chancellor’s Scholarship, including the following: number of years in the service of the university, unblemished record of service and possession of minimum entry qualifications for admission into a university. The Human Resource Office concluded the selection process and proposed the names of five junior staff eligible for the award and Management considered and approved them for the PC’s Scholarship.
All the officers whose profiles are presented, personally received their Letters of Offer from the PC and the VC at an Award Ceremony in the University on the 23 rd of January 2020. The PC informed the gathering that the total monetary value of the scholarship for the five officers for the duration of their study is over N50 Million. He promised to continue this Scholarship Scheme once the first batch of Beneficiaries graduate and advised them to justify their selection by putting in their best. The Officers expressed profound appreciation to the PC, VC and Management stating that this generosity has paved a new unexpected path of a rare opportunity to a better future for them, their children and their families. Baze Focus Magazine congratulates the Awardees and thanks the Pro-chancellor, Sen. Y.D Baba - Ahmed and the Vice-chancellor for this life-changing offer that gives meaning to the adage that “Education is the Best Legacy You Can Give to a Person”.
