......... Beyond Politics: Dr. Festus Sunday Amaechina Uzor Sustains Years Scholarship Legacy For Students.............
By Agbaja Tv
As the 2027 political season approaches, the true measure of leadership is being seen in verifiable impact on the people. One such example is the long-standing educational intervention by Rt. Hon. Dr. Uzor, APC Flagbearer Udi/Ezeagu House of Representatives and Founder of the Dr. Uzor Cares Foundation.
Beyond political ambition, Dr. Uzor has sustained a structured scholarship and bursary programme aimed at supporting students from financially disadvantaged backgrounds in Udi and Ezeagu Federal Constituency.
The intervention was laid as far back as 2000 - 2002, when Dr. Uzor awarded scholarships to 20 students from each of the 20 political wards in Ezeagu LGA. The programme was managed by a Governing Board under the leadership of Monsignor Kanife Edward, ensuring transparency and accountability from inception.
In the 2024/2025 academic session, the Dr. Uzor Cares Foundation executed its first major tertiary bursary award.
89 qualified students from Udi and Ezeagu LGAs were selected and each received ₦100,000.
Total Disbursement: ₦8,900,000
Understanding Education as one of the best human capital development, building on that success, the 2025/2026 academic session saw a significant scale-up.
137 indigent tertiary students from Udi and Ezeagu benefitted from the second round of the Bursary/Scholarship Award.
Total Support: ₦13,700,000
In a further demonstration of compassion, an additional 30 non-indigenes of Udi and Ezeagu (Agbaja land) were also supported outside the 137 indigenes.
Grand Total for 2025/2026: 167 beneficiaries
Beneficiaries cut across Universities, Polytechnics, Colleges of Education, and Colleges of Nursing and Health Technology. The selection prioritizes students already admitted but at risk of dropping out due to financial constraints.
The importance of this programme goes beyond the monetary value. For many families in Udi and Ezeagu, the cost of tertiary education is a major burden. This intervention provides critical support at the point where students would otherwise be forced to defer or abandon their studies.
By preventing dropouts and promoting access, the Dr. Uzor Cares Foundation is directly investing in human capital development, youth empowerment, and the future workforce of Udi/Ezeagu Federal Constituency.
This sustained commitment reflects the core principle of servant leadership, impact before ambition.
As the race for the Udi/Ezeagu Federal House of Representatives seat gathers momentum, constituents are weighing antecedents. For many, Rt. Hon. F.S.A. Uzor’s track record in education support stands as a verifiable marker of service to the people.
