AAUA VC donates conference allowance

Vice Chancellor of the Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko (AAUA), Ondo State, Prof Femi Mimiko, has promised to donate part of his allowance from participating in the national conference to the indigent students’ scholarship scheme. Mimiko was the only serving Vice Chancellor delegate to the conference that lasted four months. At a reception to welcome him back to the university, last Friday, he said he decided to endow his allowance to sustain the scholarship fund. “There is a particular programme that is so dear to my heart. I know that there are so many indigent students on our campus. Under the University Advancement Office, we had thought of floating a scholarship scheme into which we will put funds from everywhere. And I can see that in the future the funds will be so big that every student that has the need will be able to draw from it. I had decided before I left Abuja to donate part of my allowance to the scheme’s account as a seed fund to support indigent students of AAUA,” he said.
