“This is part of my commitment to improve on the standard of education and also to reduce the burden of WAEC fees on their parents.”

Mr. Anamero urged the students to be determined, focused and to devote more time to academic pursuits necessary to excel and become reliable leaders of tomorrow.

“I congratulate the beneficiaries and remind them that secondary school education is not the end in itself but a means to attaining greater heights in academics.

“I am looking up to a day when the beneficiaries of this foundation will find themselves in the midst of the world’s entrepreneurial leaders; leaders in the world of academics and leaders in every sphere of life.

“Let me admonish our parents that the best education starts from the home.
“We should see it as our core duty and responsibility to equip our children with the right moral values and encourage them to embrace quality education,’’ he said.

Dekeri restated his commitment to initiate good policies and programmes that would have direct bearing on the lives of the people of Etsako constituency and the country at large if voted into office in 2023.

In his remarks, an All Progressives Congress (APC) stalwart in the constituency, Chief Malik Afegbua, described the gesture as highly beneficial and unprecedented in the history of the constituency.

Afegbua urged the beneficiaries to be hard-working in order to justify the NGO’s investment in their education.

“I appeal to you the beneficiaries to reciprocate this kind gesture by excelling in your academic pursuits,’’Afegbua advised.

Some of the beneficiaries who spoke with newsmen described the gesture as very timely, beneficial and a morale booster.

A beneficiary, Mr Hakimi Sulaiman, thanked foundation for the scholarship and promised that they would not disappoint it.
