He said, “We are truly honored by this recognition and sincerely thank the SERAS organisers for this award. This achievement is for the students benefiting from our ₦1.2 Billion 10-Year Scholarship Programme, which is opening doors to quality education; the women empowered through our skill development programs, and the primary school children who received essential school supplies to continue their education.
