Olatunji-Bello was represented by Prof. Lawal Adigun, Dean, Faculty of Social Sciences, LASU.

“The scholarship award will go a long way to encourage our brilliant students to continue to work hard and focus on their studies without distractions.

“I also commended the department for exposing its students to their rights and responsibilities.
