A total of 54 students of Confucius Institute of the Nnamdi Azikiwe University, (UNIZIK) Awka, Anambra State, have been awarded scholarships to study in various tertiary institutions in China.
The students who successfully passed through various Chinese Programmes are to pursue further programmes that will last from one to four years in China.
Addressing the awardees at a brief ceremony, the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Joseph Ahaneku, urged the students to be diligent and make the university proud while studying in China.
“Before now, the Confucius Institute existed only in Nnamdi Azikiwe University and the University of Lagos but now, a new one is being developed at Bayero University Kano and these were all achieved due to the tireless efforts of UNIZIK” he added.
Three of the awardees will be sponsored by the Chinese government while the rest will be sponsored by Confucius Institute.
