This partnership exemplifies a strong
commitment from RIF and VAB to cultivate future leaders who will contribute to the socio-economic advancement of the Warri Kingdom and impact the global landscape.

Speaking on the importance of the RIF Scholarship Fund, Olori Atuwatse III stated, “The agency to transform our country and continent is education. We understand how critical it
is for our children to access quality developmental education.

“This is why we invest robustly in education at the Royal Iwere Foundation to ensure the potentials of marginalised communities, especially the riverine, are not sidelined. I also applaud the management and staff of the Valley Stream British Academy, Sapele, for supporting this vision to nurture great minds regardless of their backgrounds.

“I also use this opportunity to encourage more education institutions across primary, secondary, and tertiary levels to
partner with us, as over 20 million children are out of school according to the UNESCO Global Education Report and we have many more lives to impact.
