In line with its established legacy of advocacy in education across its communities around the world, Tenaris has awarded 75 students in Nigeria with scholarships from the Roberto Rocca Education Program (RREP).
The award ceremony, held in Rivers, united students from the Onne and Ogun communities of Nigeria, home to the company’s largest operation in Africa and where Tenaris has been present for more than 40 years.
The scholarships have been running in Nigeria for seven years, with a total investment of UDS 160,000 to this day. This year, 70 high school students were honored with scholarships for their excellent academic performance.
