The Gbenga Fawehinmi Foundation has taken a significant step in bridging the technology gap among secondary school students in Ondo State. Over 200 students have been trained in various tech skills, and 180 others have been awarded scholarships for the 2025/2026 academic session.
The foundation’s Director of Programmes, Joshua Aremu, highlighted the organisation’s mission to provide education for the less privileged. “Our scholarship focuses mainly on school retainership, ensuring that students don’t drop out due to financial constraints,” he said. Since its inception, the foundation has awarded scholarships to over 11,000 students.
The tech boot camp, themed “Gbenga Fawehinmi Foundation Summer Tech Boot Camp”, exposed students to cutting-edge technologies like artificial intelligence, web design, and graphic design. Aremu emphasised the importance of mentorship, noting that over 30,000 students have benefited from the programme.
The foundation’s “Sponsor The Child” initiative has also made a significant impact, taking 67 children off the streets and providing them with educational opportunities. Aremu called for collaboration between the government and forward-thinking organisations to drive sustainable change in the education sector.
The Chief Executive Officer of the foundation, Olabanji Fawehinmi, encouraged students to make the most of the opportunity, while the Senior Special Adviser to the Ondo State Governor on ICT praised the foundation’s efforts, urging students to prepare themselves for the future.
This initiative is a testament to the foundation’s commitment to empowering the next generation and shaping the future of education in Nigeria
