Fullbright scholar Dr. Atim Eneida George was being hosted by the university, he said, adding that “the collaborative projects initiated during her visit period have set the stage for continued academic excellence and global engagement.”

Adeyemo stated: “Lead City University has set up a number of scholarship programs to help worthy students who are struggling financially. These scholarships are given out according to certain requirements established by our university, financial necessity, and academic merit.

Through the provision of these scholarships, we make our educational possibilities accessible to students who would not otherwise be able to pursue higher education. To find students who require financial assistance, we actively work with non-governmental organizations, government agencies, and local organizations.

By providing flexible payment alternatives and discounted tuition for students from low-income families, we aim to increase access to education. This makes it possible to prevent financial limitations from impeding education.
