Thirty secondary school students from six schools in Ogun State have been awarded scholarships.
The scholarship holder, a former senior
executive at MTN and current Chief Commercial Officer at Itex Integrated
Services Ltd, Adekunle Adebiyi, presented the scholarships at the recently held
Ilaro-Oronna Festival in Ogun state.
Adebiyi, for four years, had provided
scholarships to students in the state to empower them for the future.
The recipients were from Anglican Grammar
school, Baptist High School, Emmanuel Commercial High school, Egbado college,
Itolu Community High school, and Oronna High School in Ilaro, Yewa South Local
Government of Ogun State.
Adebiyi said, “Children are our future and
by supporting them, we are making direct investments into the future. My goal
is to support the younger generation of Yewa descent who are academically
capable yet have financial difficulties.
“I understand and appreciate the
difficulties that millions of parents across the country face when they have to
choose between feeding their families and education, and I am invested in doing
what I can to ease that burden.
“It is important for us all to find a way
to reach back into our communities to seek avenues to offer assistance where
possible. We have a duty both to ourselves and the communities around us.”
