In a remarkable event in Asaba, Delta State, High Chief Stanley Obodoagwu, founder of The Lightgivers Foundation and Akwaamaka Music Record Label, hosted students who achieved outstanding scores in the recently concluded 2025 Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) examination.

The event took place at Chief Obodoagwu’s palatial mansion in Okpanam, where the philanthropist and record label boss pledged to cover the students’ university tuition, accommodation, and other expenses to ensure a seamless tertiary education.

The scholarships were facilitated by Dr. (Mrs.) Sabina Chukwunedum, former Principal of Abbot Girls Secondary School, Ihiala. During the event, Dr. Chukwunedum expressed joy at the impact of High Chief Obodoagwu’s efforts through The Lightgivers Foundation, which provides indigent students with stress-free educational opportunities. She urged the students to remain focused on their studies to become worthy ambassadors of their school and the foundation.

In his address, High Chief Obodoagwu expressed delight at the students’ performance, emphasising that his philanthropy is driven by a love for humanity and a desire to give back to society. He reaffirmed his commitment to supporting the students’ education through university.

In 2023, The Lightgivers Foundation had awarded scholarships to ten students from Abbot Girls Secondary School, Ihiala, covering their education up to the university level. The selection process involved an examination for indigent students, with the top ten candidates receiving scholarships worth tens of millions of naira.

One beneficiary, Miss Nwafor Precious Ezichi, a student of Abbot Girls Secondary School, Ihiala, Anambra State, scored an impressive 314 in the 2025 JAMB examination. Miss Ezichi, who applied to study Law at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, shared that she comes from a low-income background. She credited the scholarship from The Lightgivers Foundation, which she has received for the past three years, for supporting her through secondary education. She expressed deep gratitude to High Chief Obodoagwu for his support.

Another beneficiary, Miss Ele Hanah, who scored 274 in the JAMB examination, also thanked The Lightgivers Foundation for funding her secondary education. She prayed for continued blessings for High Chief Obodoagwu in all his endeavours.
