Get Guardian on GoogleAbraham Seed Private School International has invited no fewer than 2000 students from different parts of Lagos for the 2026/27 scholarship programme of the school.
According to the Director of the School, Dr. Abraham Oladidupo Olaluwoye, a lot of students had benefitted from free West African Examinations Council (WAEC) and National Examinations Council (NECO) examinations, describing the gesture as the school’s Corporate Social Responsibility programme that has been going on for the past 10 years.
The participating students were tested on Mathematics, English and General subjects out of which 200 students would be finally selected.
Olaluwoye said the scholarship was a way of giving back to the society by assisting parents who are financially handicapped as well as ensuring that children don’t take to vices as a result of idleness.
Olaluwoye said: “We carry the burden to help as many students as possible. Last year, we were not able to do much as we localised the gesture to where our school operates, but this year, we decided to extend it to different parts of Lagos.
“We even want to do more but we are limited to what we are doing today as a result of financial constraints. However, as we get more assistance, we would do more.
“Apart from WAEC and NECO scholarship, we have embarked on full scholarship for averagely 40 students per year for the past 10 years and make bold to say that about 400 students have benefitted from our full scholarship programme.
We have been giving nursery, primary, junior and senior secondary schools. The present beneficiaries came in last year and 40 of them, as usual, will enjoy the full scholarship.
“In addition to empowering the youth with education, we also educate them on drug abuse, sexual molestation, bullying and cultism through Pastor Abraham Olaluwoye Foundation.”
Parents such as Chief Imam Alhaji Hamed Bello, Odi Olowo, Evang. Oladipupo Joseph Nelson Amaechi testified to the scholarship being enjoyed by their children.
