Justin Zhang, Chief Public Affairs Officer at OPay: “We believe this initiative will allow talented students to focus on their education. Olabisi Onabanjo University is the ninth university we have partnered with this year to give scholarships to 20 students of the institution every year.”

The scholarship scheme will provide 20 students of the university with ₦300,000 each year to cover their tuition and other academic-related expenses. This initiative is part of OPay’s broader mission to empower Nigerian youth through education and create a brighter future for them.

Ayodeji Agboola, Vice-Chancellor of Olabisi Onabanjo University: “We have had several students take gap years to come up with funds to continue their education. With this scholarship initiative, some will be able to continue their education without any hassle. OPay’s investment in this institution is not misplaced, as Olabisi Onabanjo University has produced several notable and influential persons across various industries in Nigeria.”

The partnership is a testament to OPay’s commitment to unlocking multiple potentials and creating a brighter future for Nigerian youths. As OPay continues to expand its scholarship initiative to more universities across Nigeria, students from various regions can look forward to benefiting from this life-changing initiative.

OPay was established in 2018 with the mission to make financial services more inclusive through technology. This initiative is part of the company’s broader efforts to drive positive change and empower Nigerian youth through education and other impactful programmes.
