Vice Chancellor of the Kwara State University (KWASU), Prof AbdulRasheed Na'Allah, has identified volunteerism and selflessness as two virtues capable of enhancing Nigeria's development.

Na'Allah said this while presenting scholarship awards by Kwara State University Alumni Association to 10 outstanding undergraduates drawn from across the institution's departments.

Na'Allah explained that understanding the values of selfless services, volunteerism and patriotism would build a more virile Nigeria.

Praising the alumni body for demonstrating exemplary qualities, he charged KWASU students to borrow a leaf by rendering selfless service to the university and humanity.

He added that volunteerism allows students to garner experience across all fields of profession and pave the way for easy employment in future.

Earlier, President of the alumni, Mr. Damilare Oyinloye, described the scholarship award as the 'most consistent scholarship programme' in the university since its establishment.

Oyinloye noted that despite Nigeria's economic recession, the alumni body still went ahead to support the students through scholarships that cover a part of beneficiaries' tuition as well as educational endowment support services.

He noted that beneficiaries were selected in a fair exercise, having been found worthy in learning and character.
