She said, “this foundation was established in 2015 with the aim of reaching out to the less-privileged and providing Career Counselling Projects for the teeming youth.

“Today, we deemed it necessary to give scholarship to sixty students in various public schools across the council area as a way of giving succor to parents and guardians.

“We have, over the years, carried out educational outreach programmes for the youth and supported teenage mothers, who I have a special interest because of the menace of teenage motherhood in rural communities.

“I encouraged beneficiaries and students, in general, to aspire higher and not to end their educational voyage at secondary school level”.
