Ayodele Agboola Foundation(AAF), a non-governmental organization based in Nigeria, has provided educational scholarships to another set of students in public Primary,Secondary and Tertiary institutions in Osun State.
The scheme is designed to provide support to brilliant and academically sound students from less privileged families.
According to the charity, the scholarship to beneficiaries who recently gained admission into higher institutions in Osun, covers each student’s application, acceptance, registration, examination, and tuition fees.
The Chairman and Founder of AAF, Comrade Ayodele Agboola, in a statement released shortly after the official presentation of the 2024 scholarship award to beneficiaries at the Ila-Orangun campus of Ekiti State University(EKSU), noted that the NGO is interested in contributing to the growth of the major sector responsible for shaping Nigeria’s future.
According to the philanthropist, “We can further develop our nation through education. AAF’s interest is in building educational legacies and nurturing children who are the future of our great nation.
“By investing in the educational development of the younger generation, the future of our communities is secured and assured.
“AAF’s scholarship scheme for students in Osun is hinged on the passion of the charity’s executives to transform the society.
“Our youths have great potential, and by investing in their educational development, we won’t be bothered about what the future holds,” he said
The philanthropist further revealed that several millions of Naira has been doled out to help students studying at the Osun State University, Ekiti State University and the Osun State Polytechnic in Iree, among others.
Agboola explained that the Foundation is all about bringing succor to humanity in general.
He called on the benefiting students to concentrate on their studies in a bid to justify the humongous resources expended on the programme.
A beneficiary and 100-level Law student at the Osun State University, Taiwo Oladipo, who spoke on behalf of others, described the scholarship as a dream come true.
He thanked Comrade Agboola for prioritizing education, saying that it is the best way to change the narrative of Osun State and the nation at large.
” I must sincerely thank AAF for placing a premium on human development. I am excited that the donor has deemed it fit to add his quota to developing a critical aspect of the society.
“I can only pray to God to continue to bless the Foundation with the requisite resources.” Taiwo Oladipo said.
The undergraduate also promised to study harder to achieve his academic goals.
Recall that in November 2023, the Foundation paid the tuition fees of over 20 indigent students in Ila-Orangun Grammar School, Ila, Osun State.
AAF was established several years ago to provide humanitarian and welfare services to vulnerable members of the society.
