He explained that it became necessary for him to fund the academic pursuits of the undergraduates in the district because most parents were struggling to make ends meet.
The cash gift would be distributed to the undergraduates to aid their education as they resume new academic session in September.
He noted that all undergraduates from Ondo Southern District were advised to reach out to the traditional rulers of their respective communities to obtain the forms
They are also expected to submit the forms to where they obtained them after filling in the forms.
They can also get the form at All Progressives Congress (APC) party secretariat and Aseyori leaders in Ondo South.

“The fund is open to all undergraduates from all communities in Ondo Southern Senatorial District. That’s why the forms would be made available in all palaces and with APC and Aseyori leaders.
