Senate President, Ahmed Lawan, has commended the efforts of former Imo State Governor and Senator representing Imo West, Rochas Okorocha to unite the country.

The Senate President who visited the Senator to felicitate with him on his 58 birthday anniversary, described him as an agent of Unity.

According to him, “Okorocha is an agent of Unity, I pray God to keep him to continue in service to the nation and humanity”.

He added that Okorocha’s presence has added value to the 9th Senate.

Meanwhile the former governor announced a new scholarship scheme for 58 ‘brilliant’ Nigerians to mark his 58 birthday anniversary.

He said the gesture which is in partnership with the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB), unlike other of his charity initiatives for indigent Nigerians, will benefit best students across the country.

The former Governor who made the disclosure when the Senate President, Ahmed Lawan, paid him a visit to congratulate him on his birthday, stated that, “at 58 I have decided to give first free education to 58 Nigerians of different fields of study in the University.

“We are doing this in partnership with JAMB, this is the one coming from me to give to intelligent children, not poor children this time. Once you can meet up JAMB cut off and you meet our criteria you will be given free education until you finish your University education in whatever field you want to”.

He continued that, “so this my 58 birthday is termed birthday of giving. On that day I want you to all participate, I want to go to all nooks and crannies in this country and give a surprise Rochas visits to the needy persons especially those who have lost hope of what to eat for the day; that is how I want to celebrate this my 58 birthday”.
