AgegePulse Magazine
The popular quote of Princess Diana that 'carry out a random act of kindness, with no expectation of reward, safe in the knowledge that one day someone might do the same for you.', could well be used to describe the unexpected fortune that befell former Head Boy of Keke High School, Ifako-Ijaye, Master Tomiwa Abraham yesterday.
Agege Pulse learnt that after graduating in flying colours, Tomiwa took it upon himself to assist other students who are still in school by putting up an outstanding performance during a 2-year extra coaching initiative organised by Brighter Days Youths Empowerment.
His commitment and unrelenting effort was well noticed and won him a four years scholarship.
The presentation of the scholarship award was done today at Keke Senior High School of Education District 1, under the leadership of Tutor General/Permanent Secretary, Dr. Yinka Ayandele.
Two old students of the school, Mr. Olaolu Williams and Kofo Durotimi-Etti of Brighter Days Youths Empowerment Initiative and NextGem Farms Limited respectively, presented the scholarship to Tomiwa.
Agege Pulse gathered that the award is a full scholarship programme which would allow him to study Agriculture/Crop Protection and Environmental Biology in the University of Ibadan free of charge till graduation.
Speaking at the presentation, TGPS Dr. Mrs Ayandele said the gesture epitomizes a wonderful event of elevation and heartwarming. She commended the kind move to reward excellence by the initiative.
"Thanks to the initiative of Mr. Olaolu Williams and Kofo Durotimi-Etti of Brighter Days Youths Empowerment Initiative and NextGem Farms Ltd that deemed it fit to sponsor former Head Boy of Keke High School, Tomiwa Abraham who is also one of the 300 students of EDD1 who got a straight admission into University upon graduation.
"We appreciate the principals, teachers, school supports and everyone who are contributing immensely to ensure these students have a flourishing future. We hope other students will give much needed attention to their studies in preparation for a day like this." Dr Ayandele concluded.
On his part, Tomiwa Abraham appreciated God for the privilege to witness such a day. He acknowledged how his mother and teachers have been huge source of inspiration to him adding that the Brighter Days Youths Empowerment Initiative and NextGem Farms Limited gave him platform to showcase his love for fellow human being.
