MTN Nigeria Foundation has announced the disbursement of N114 million in scholarships to 380 students, including visually-impaired individuals, across various Nigerian universities for the year 2024. In addition, 380 graduates were inducted into the MTN Scholarship Alumni Association during the award ceremony held on Tuesday in Abuja.
The scholarships were awarded to students with outstanding academic performance, enabling them to pursue any course of their choice from entry-level through to their final year. The scholarship is renewable annually, provided the recipients continue to meet the academic requirements.
In her opening address, the Director of MTN Nigeria Foundation, Aishatu Sadauki, emphasized the foundation’s commitment to supporting individuals, regardless of their background, to achieve success.
“The foundation has been driven by the thought and the belief that every individual, regardless of their backgrounds or socio-economic stages, can be a trailblazer, problem-solver, and visionary,” Sadauki remarked.
She further pledged the foundation’s unwavering support for the scholarship recipients in their academic pursuits. “We are here to support you as you strive for academic excellence, and we will use every tool in our arsenal to do so,” she said.
Addressing the recipients directly, Sadauki encouraged them to forge meaningful connections and to use their knowledge and skills to make a positive impact on society. “Please build meaningful connections and gain the knowledge and skills you need to rise and give back to your society. You have shown that obstacles are not roadblocks, but detours that lead to greatness,” she stated, adding, “Remember, our Yello family believes in you and your ability to make a difference to the world around you.”
The event also had the presence of key academic figures, including the Vice Chancellor of the University of Jos, Prof. Tanko Ishaya, represented by Prof. Chris Piwuna, and JAMB registrar, represented by Basira Agbabiaka.
