No fewer than 50 students from Ogun State have benefitted from bursary awards from Eniobanke Foundation floated by Ambassador Quadri Ibrahim Adeniyi, while 10 others in First Class ans Distinction Categories in their studies also got a laptop each.

The bursary awards was N50,000 each.

Commenting on the development, the National Association of Ogun State Students (NAOSS), under the leadership of Aare Oluwafemi Ajayi, the National President, commended the gesture, describing it as one that would alleviate the condition of the students.

“At a period when many brilliant students are confronted by harsh economic realities, the Foundation has chosen to stand on the side of hope by awarding ₦50,000 bursary grants to fifty Ogun State students.

Beyond this, ten exceptional students who have distinguished themselves academically with First Class and Distinction grades will be presented with laptop computers, while desktop computer systems have also been approved to strengthen the operations of the NAOSS National Secretariat and its chapters.

“For us, this is more than an intervention; it is a statement that the future of Ogun State should never be abandoned to circumstance. A people who invest in their students are simply investing in their own tomorrow. The wealth of any society is not hidden in its soil but in the quality of minds it is able to nurture.

“The Association notes that this milestone was made possible through the bridge-building and responsible leadership of Aare Oluwafemi Ajayi, whose administration, Team_Reinvention, has continued to prove that students’ unionism must move beyond rhetoric to practical results. His commitment to building partnerships that directly touch the lives of students reflects a leadership philosophy anchored on service, responsibility and measurable impact.”

In his words, the National President expressed deep appreciation to Ambassador Quadri Ibrahim Adeniyi for considering the future of Ogun State students a matter of priority. He described the Founder of Eniobanke Foundation for Humanity as a man whose success has not disconnected him from the struggles of ordinary people and whose generosity has become a source of hope for many families.
He further appealed to other public-spirited individuals and corporate organisations to emulate this noble example, noting that the burden of building society cannot be left to government alone. According to him, every generation is remembered by the opportunities it creates for those coming behind.

The National President also urged beneficiaries and youths across the nation to keep alive the values of compassion, kindness and service to humanity exemplified by Ambassador Quadri Ibrahim Adeniyi, reminding them that the greatest appreciation for a good deed is to become a source of blessing to others.

“The heartfelt prayers and appreciation from parents and beneficiaries remain a touching reminder that acts of goodness never fade. As an Association, we pray that Almighty Allah (SWT) enlarges the coast of Ambassador Quadri Ibrahim Adeniyi and the Eniobanke Foundation for Humanity, grants them barakah that never diminishes, protects their families, strengthens their hands for greater service and makes them perpetual vessels of mercy to humanity.

“History remembers those who conquered kingdoms, but humanity never forgets those who gave people the opportunity to conquer poverty through education.”
