According to the organiser and facilitator Mr Taritein Boco, the Managing Director, of Asfabeta Management Support Services, the foundation doubled its impact this year by supporting 30 students, up from 15 in the first edition last year.
Mr Uzochukwu Okolo, the representative of Seed Of Victory Foundation, said that it is a scholarship program, which aims to assist students with financial challenges in covering WAEC fees and administrative costs.
Boco averred that the assessment exam questions were drawn from WAEC past papers to ensure standards of thorough preparation.
He said, “Despite improved scores this year, the general performance was below average. There is a need for extra-moral classes to enhance preparedness for WAEC exams.
” The long-term goal of the project is to double support each year, with a target of 15,400 beneficiaries by the 10th year. Assist students whose families face financial challenges in covering WAEC fees and administrative costs.
“The initiators celebrate the legacies of their phenomenal mothers (Late) Mrs S. E. Okolo, Late (Hon.) Mrs E. T. Ibomo stood for moral values, peace and progress through education.
“The event celebrated the spirit of education and community involvement, reflecting the foundation’s commitment to shaping a brighter future”, Boco said.
