The Executive Secretary of the Enugu State Scholarship and Education Loans Board, Chukwuemeka Mbah, who disclosed this, Monday, said the beneficiaries were drawn from the 17 local government areas of the state and across various academic disciplines, comprising over 500 undergraduate students, 100 postgraduate students, and 160 public sector teachers.
