Project New Nigeria has expanded its education support initiative to Niger Delta University (NDU) in Bayelsa State, awarding 300 scholarships and 15 iPads to students on April 22, 2026. The event took place at the New Site Multipurpose Hall and was organised in partnership with the Foundation for Citizens Empowerment and Sensitisation on Civic Responsibility and the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC). One special scholarship was included among the awards, and recipients included Josiah Prosper from the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering. The programme also featured civic education sessions on voter registration and youth participation in democracy, with entertainment and advocacy support from Sabinus. Project New Nigeria, founded by Samuel Kaley Nzidee, previously supported over 100 students at the University of Port Harcourt in 2025, bringing its total beneficiaries to more than 400. Nzidee described the support as an investment in future leaders, not charity. Prof. Tonbrapagha Kingdom, representing NDU Vice Chancellor Prof. Allen Agih, acknowledged the NDDC's role in institutional development, including the construction of a new hostel.
Students at Niger Delta University now have direct access to scholarships and digital tools through a verified external intervention. Those in need of financial or academic support should contact the Project New Nigeria team for eligibility details and application procedures.
