Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, has approved the payment of financial assistance to 533 indigenes of the state who graduated from the Nigerian Law School in the 2025 session, in a move aimed at easing the financial burden on newly qualified legal practitioners and promoting human capital development.
The approval was announced by the Delta State Bursary and Scholarship Board in a public notice published on Thursday. The Board directed all eligible beneficiaries to submit the required documents electronically between July 23 and July 29, 2026, to enable the processing and disbursement of the funds. Required documents include the Nigerian Law School admission letter, Certificate of Call to the Bar, a valid means of identification, Local Government identification and bank account details.
The Executive Secretary of the Delta State Bursary and Scholarship Board, Dr. Godfrey Enita, urged beneficiaries to comply with the submission guidelines to avoid delays in receiving the financial assistance. He also advised applicants to scan and forward the documents to the Board’s official email address within the stipulated deadline.
The intervention is in line with Governor Oborevwori’s MORE Agenda, which prioritises investment in education, professional development and youth empowerment. It is expected to provide much-needed financial relief to the 533 new lawyers as they begin their legal careers and further strengthen the state’s commitment to supporting the aspirations of young professionals.
