The Chief Executive Officer of the foundation, Dr. Muhammed Maikaya, said the gesture was aimed at easing the financial burden on students and encouraging them to remain focused on their academic goals. “This distribution is not just about writing materials; it is a reaffirmation of our belief that every student, regardless of status, deserves the tools and support needed to succeed. We are committed to ensuring that no student is left behind,” he said.
Student leaders expressed deep appreciation to the foundation for its consistent support and investment in the academic well-being of students. The President of the Nasarawa State Students Association, Ovey Abimiku, described the initiative as a “welcome intervention that would help many students who can’t afford basic learning materials.”

The foundation has also been advocating for inclusive education policies in the state. During a recent stakeholders’ engagement, Dr. Maikaya called on the government and educational institutions to prioritize the rights and needs of students living with disabilities. “The truth is, barriers both seen and unseen still prevent many of our brothers and sisters with special needs from accessing quality education. These are not just inconveniences. They are injustices. And they must be corrected,” he said.
The Maikaya Development Foundation has been supporting students in Nasarawa State for over a decade, providing education support funds, scholarships, and tuition fees assistance. The foundation’s mantra is “Leaving No One Behind”, and it remains committed to bridging the gap between potential and opportunity for all students
