The Oyo State Head of Service (HoS), Mrs. Olubunmi Oni, and her siblings have introduced an education support scheme aimed at assisting 30 indigent students in memory of their late parents, Chief Joshua Adedeji and Chief Racheal Jolade Ogunkeyede.

Speaking in Ilorin, Mrs. Oni, née Ogunkeyede, shared that the initiative was launched to honour their parents, who were deeply committed to charitable causes and the promotion of education. “Our parents had a deep commitment to charitable causes and educational advancement, and we are following in their footsteps with this education support scheme,” she said.

The scheme, which offers financial assistance starting from N50,000, will cover essential needs such as school bags, uniforms, textbooks, and tuition fees. It aims to ease the burden on underprivileged students, ensuring that financial challenges do not disrupt their education.

Mrs. Oni, whose family hails from Esa Oke in Osun State, highlighted that the initiative was created in response to the economic difficulties faced by many Nigerian families. “We have witnessed how something as simple as not being able to afford school supplies can derail a student’s education,” she added.

The Ogunkeyede family has a history of educational support, including a scholarship program at Emmanuel Anglican Church, Esa Oke, for youths who excel in their Joint Admissions Matriculation Board (JAMB) exams and gain admission to tertiary institutions.

This year, 30 beneficiaries will be selected from a pool of 50 applicants, with fairness ensured by not allowing multiple selections from the same family. Mrs. Oni emphasized that the support will cater to students at primary, secondary, and tertiary levels, as part of their family’s ongoing commitment to education.

She also called on well-meaning Nigerians and the government to support such efforts and partner in developing the education sector. “We urge private individuals and organizations to set up similar programs to support education and healthcare. More lives can be transformed through such initiatives,” she concluded.

The support scheme is expected to be formalized as an NGO in the near future.
