It is without a doubt heart-warming seeing a scheme such as the Petroleum Industry Christian Fellowship International (PICFI) Scholarship Award for undergraduates in Nigerian public universities.
This is so because the individuals making up the awarding body could have simply ‘minded their own business.’ We live in a world and a society where all many care about is to grab and grab.
Well, enough of the rant. You are probably just interested in getting the full gist about the 2019 PICFI scholarship award for Nigerian undergraduates. Without much ado, let’s unload the details.
About the Scholarship
PICFI is a group of petroleum industry professionals of different Christian denominations. It comprises Christian professionals working in both local and multinational companies operating in the Nigerian oil and gas industry.
The organisation says its aim is to establish the Kingdom of God in the petroleum industry. It seeks to improve performance and advocate for just and equitable distribution of industry wealth for the good of the country.
The 2019 PICFI scholarship award is one of the tools the group wishes to use to achieve its vision. It, therefore, invites all qualified, full-time, 100-level Nigerians in state and federal universities to apply for an undergraduate scholarship award.
