"This new phase marks a significant expansion of the program. While previous phases focused exclusively on pre-tertiary students, this iteration is designed to empower students across all levels of tertiary education, including Universities, Polytechnics, Monotechnics, and Colleges of Education.

"The primary objective of the SESS remains unchanged: to promote higher enrollment in tertiary institutions, reduce dropout rates among financially underserved students, and strengthen the human capital necessary to lead Gbaramatu Kingdom toward a prosperous future.

"We encourage all qualified students to complete their registration promptly because successful candidates will be selected on a first-come, first-served basis, upon verification.

"We extend our profound gratitude to our dedicated partners, the National Association of Gbaramatu Students (NAGS), who will play an instrumental role in the verification and selection processes."
