FOCI inaugurated the above award in 1976, in memory of the late general Murtala Muhammed.

The Murtala Muhammed scholarship fund is part of FOCI’s social investment for capacity building in the building and civil engineering sector which act as strategic feed into the construction industry.

The outgoing president of FOCI, Engr Nasiru Dantata, who made this disclosure at FOCI 66th annual general meeting held in Abuja, stated that the fund for the scholarship was reactivated in 2016 by the then president of FOCI, Solomon Ogunbusola and was awarded in 2017 to 14 students of public universities across six geopolitical zones of Nigeria with the sum of N250,000 per year.

According to him, “12 students graduated in 2021 because of COVID-19 and ASUU strike which deferred their proposed graduation in 2020.
