Relocates them to Nigeria, Benin Republic
The General overseer of the Omega Power Ministeries(OPM) Apostle Chibuzor Chinyere said his Ministry is reviewing it’s overseas scholarship.
Speaking when he visited the National Open University of Nigeria, Portharcourt Study centre, the clergy said the decision of the church was because of the high exchange rate which has negatively affected the program.
“If you are enjoying our scholarship in USA, Canada, The UK, Poland, Germany, Turkey, Cyprus, etc., you are advised to contact your matron for arrangements to move your credits to the National Open University of Nigeria or our chosen university in Benin Republic. If you don’t want to relocate back, you are on your own,”
“One of my biggest dreams is to provide education for the less privileged in the society, but what can I do when my hands are tied. It’s a very painful decision to withdraw our students abroad, but the economy is bad. Bringing them back to NOUN is more advantageous to us because we can sponsor more students with less funds compared to what is happening abroad.”
The cleric said the policy review does not affect scholarship beneficiaries studying in African universities in Ghana, Mauritius, Benin Republic, South Africa, etc.
