No fewer than 50 vulnerable students and pupils in Ekiti State have benefited from the back-to-school and scholarship support programme of the Wife of the Ekiti State Governor, Dr. Olayemi Oyebanji, through her Widows, Aged, Orphans Hope (WAOH) Foundation.

The latest intervention, held on Wednesday, is part of the foundation’s ongoing efforts to support families and help children and young people remain in school.

The programme provides educational assistance to beneficiaries through scholarships, payment of school fees and the provision of learning materials.In June, at least 100 indigent students from tertiary institutions across Ekiti State received scholarships of ₦100,000 each from the First Lady.

Since the programme commenced in 2023, several students and pupils have benefited from various educational support initiatives aimed at reducing the financial burden on families and ensuring continued access to education.

The intervention is expected to provide relief to beneficiaries facing difficulties in meeting educational expenses and help them pursue their academic goals.
