Foundation Seeks Support For Brilliant, Indigent Students

The Office of International Students Affairs (OISA) Foundation, has called on eminent Nigerians and corporate organisations to support the foundation’s goal of ensuring indigent but brilliant children get education.
This was made known by the  Trustee of the Foundation, Prince Abimbola Olashore while briefing journalists in Lagos on the 10th year memorial activities of HRM Oba Oladele Olashore.
Olashore explained that this year, due to Nigeria’s huge number of out-of-school children, the foundation partnered other foundations to offer scholarships to indigent but brilliant children.
He added that the foundation had an aim of providing interventions in the areas of health and education of learners.
Olashore said that it was discovered that young adults of age 12 and 18 years had mental health issues, which sometimes go unnoticed by parents and schools, saying the foundation had developed a toolkit to assist in knowing the areas of needs of learners and teachers.
He said, “We are also training educators, school owners, teachers, guidance and counsellors, as well as parents in that regard”.
