First-Class Edo IDP Graduate Gets US University PhD Scholarship
Amos Ishaku, a highly accomplished graduate and displaced individual from the Uhorgua camp in Edo State, received a fully-funded scholarship to pursue a PhD at the prestigious University of Illinois in Chicago, USA.

Folorunsho expressed appreciation to the benefactors and advocates who have facilitated these achievements, highlighting that Ishaku’s narrative serves as evidence of the influence of their efforts.
Ishaku, the Best Graduating Student of 2023, also received several other accolades, including the Mike Ozekhome award for top-performing graduate overall, Best Student in the Department of Chemical Engineering, and Best Student in Entrepreneurship and the Faculty of Engineering.
Folorunsho said that Ishaku is anticipated to commence his academic pursuits at the University of Illinois in the next month.
