The Denam Charity Foundation, the corporate social responsibility (CSR) arm of Denam Group, has awarded two-year scholarships to 30 students of Government Day Secondary School, Dutse Alhaji, Abuja, in a move aimed at improving access to education for children from underserved communities.
The scholarship programme, the foundation’s first education-focused initiative, will cover the beneficiaries’ school fees for the next two years, helping to reduce the financial burden on their families.
A total of 50 students sat for the scholarship examination, with 30 emerging successful. The remaining 20 students also received consolation prizes in recognition of their participation.
Speaking at the presentation ceremony, Dr. Igwemezie, founder of the foundation, encouraged the students to see education as the foundation for a better future.
Drawing from his own experience of rising from humble beginnings to earning four university degrees and holding leadership positions in global companies, he said education had transformed his life.
