I benefited from Scholarship Award Too!
CHEVENING ALUMNI; numbering around 50,000 worldwide calls for more investment in Human Capital Development.
Chevening Alumni is an influential and international professional group which members have excellent records of rising to positions of leadership across a wide range of fields which include politics, business, media and information, civil society, science and technology, and academia.
Chevening Fellowship is an important element of Britain’s public diplomacy efforts which brings professionals, who have already displayed outstanding leadership talents, to study in the United Kingdom. The focus is to support foreign policy priorities and achieve Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) objectives by creating lasting positive relationships with future leaders, influencers and decision- makers.
Therefore, it’s a privilege to have received this Chevening Fellowship Award in 1999 (19years ago). Olanrewaju Suraju (such an incredible guy) and I were together at the University of Manchester that year. We were both recipients of the award and it did make a world of difference in our lives. Thanks again to Egbon Olawale Fapohunda, the current Attorney-General of Ekiti State, for all that you have done.
