The Nigerian Breweries–Felix Ohiwerei Education Trust Fund (NB/FOETF) has awarded a secondary school scholarship to Ayomide Avose, a young student who gained national recognition as the keynote speaker at the 2025 Maltina Teacher of the Year grand finale.
Avose, a scholar under the Slum2School Africa initiative, captured the attention of attendees at the national event with his inspiring keynote address, which demonstrated remarkable confidence, eloquence, and intellectual depth, highlighting his exceptional potential despite coming from an underserved background.
To support his continued academic growth and development, the NB/FOETF has awarded him a scholarship covering tuition and other essential educational needs throughout his secondary education. The funding will be administered through Slum2School Africa, which will provide the necessary academic monitoring, psychosocial support, and implementation framework to ensure the successful delivery of the intervention.
Speaking on the initiative, the Public Relations Officer of the NB/FOETF, Uzo Odenigbo, noted that the intervention reflects the trust fund’s unwavering commitment to expanding access to quality education and creating opportunities for talented young Nigerians from underserved communities.
