Fubara awards scholarship to Rivers student who won Big Break Moment reality show

Governor Siminalayi Fubara has offered scholarship to a student at Rivers state University, Callistus Chibueze Uzodinma, for winning Big Break Moment dance competition.

The reality show organisers had said that the Big Break Moment is a talent hunt platform which is committed to recognising the creativity and talents of Nigerian youths.

According to a statement issued by his media aide to the governor, Boniface Onyedi, the governor announced the scholarship at a ceremony where he was handed the official prize of a new Changan CS35 Plus luxury car for onward presentation to the Uzodinma at Government House in Port Harcourt on Friday.

Fubara also noted that beside the provision of roads and houses, which most people know as development efforts, harnessing talents was also an important aspect of development.

He added; “I accepted to do this for one reason. It is to send a message to our youths that when you are ready to excel and unleash yourself to the world positively, we will always stand by you.

“I also feel happy that the winner of this show is from my alma mater. I want to say to everyone who is watching, you can still be in school and still become whatever you want to be outside your academics.

“As a government, we are going to support you and see you through schooling. So, we are not going to give you money. I will award a scholarship to you to any level that you want to get to.”
