The Non-Governmental Organization, Oluwaseun Adeboyejo Foundation, made the donation of the books and bags to pupils of public schools in Emure Ekiti, in the Emure Local Government Area of the State, specifically to put smile to their faces.

According to the Foundation, it revealed that the books, school bags and writing materials were distributed to reward some outstanding students in a recent debate held. 

At a eye-catching event held at Sacred Heart Primary School compound Emure Ekiti, the Convener of the foundation, Mr. Oluwaseun Adeboyejo said the gesture is aimed at bridging the gap between the affluent and the downtrodden, stating that all and sundry should have access to education. 

Adeboyejo also noted that the prevailing hardship informed his decision to embark on the empowerment drive, stressing that the ugly situation is taking humongous toll on the residents already affected by the economic downturn. 

Advising the beneficiaries, the Convener said: “I want to encourage each and everyone of you to remain dedicated to your studies. Education is a powerful tool that can shape your future, and by putting in the effort now, you are laying a strong foundation for success.

In due time, I will return to support the education of the most outstanding students among you. This is not just about your current efforts but about your long-term commitment to learning and excellence.

“If you make the most of this opportunity and remain focused and disciplined, I will ensure that your journey doesn’t end here. For those who excel, I am committed to sponsoring your education up to the tertiary level. The doors to a brighter future are within reach, and with hard work, determination, and resilience, I believe many of you can achieve great things. Seize this moment, stay studious, and know that your efforts will be rewarded.”

Reeling out the number of schools that benefitted, he said, “10 pupils from 39 schools as well as five Secondary schools have been privileged to benefit from the foundation and we will do our best to ensure that we assuage the burden of parents.
