President Irfaan Ali today made good on his pledge to improve the educational opportunities for ranks of the Guyana Defence Force, a release from the Office of the President said.
Ali presented Corporal Ryan Jordan, Lance Corporal Nikolai Moore and Private Michael Yarde with scholarships, in keeping with a commitment made while visiting soldiers stationed at Kaikan in Region 7 last week.
During that visit the President had said that three of the ranks stationed in the bordering community will benefit from University of Guyana scholarships.
“We were in Kaikan and I asked the soldiers from among themselves to select who they thought were priority in gaining scholarships…they selected these three officers and for this I thank them”, he said.
