Speaking during the award of scholarships to the beneficiaries in Asaba, the Governor, Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan, said that it was impossible for a cultist to bag a first class in the university.

"This informed our administration's decision to inaugurate the scholarship scheme'' the Governor disclosed.
