Former Nigeria Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki through his foundation, Abubakar Bukola Saraki Foundation has awarded scholarship to 200 orphans from public schools across Kwara State’s 16 local government areas. The foundation provided essential items like school bags, books, and tuition fees to these children, demonstrating its commitment to education and empowering vulnerable members of society.
The North Central regional director of the foundation, Mallam Musa Aliyu revealed that “this initiative is part of the foundation’s broader commitment to education both in Kwara State and nationwide.”
