3 Lagos Students Get Bode Agusto Education Grant

Three Methodist Boys High School students, Omamogho Ajufuntsi, Fahm Aremu, and Ogunsola Oladimeji, have emerged winners of the maiden edition of the ‘Olabode Mubasheer Agusto Educational Grant’.

The grant, which covers three years (SS1 to SS3), was established in honour of the life and legacy of Mr Olabode Mubasheee Agusto, an Old Boy of Methodist Boys High School and the founder of Agusto & Co.

In her remarks, the Managing Director of Agusto & Co, Mrs Yinka Adelekan, explained that the essence of launching an educational Grant in honour of the late Bode Agusto “is that we know what he stood for in terms of education.

“Bode Agusto believed that education was the bedrock that would change our society, and today, we give back to his alma mater.

“We believe that his alma mater was very important in creating who he became while he was on earth.

“Today, we are giving three beneficiaries, who are students of Methodist Boys High School, who, because of financial constraints or mishap in the family, cannot continue the studentship of this school.

“We have provided the means for them to complete their education at the school.

“This is the first edition, and we will run it for the next five years by sponsoring three students’ education every year through SS 1 to SS 3 for the next five years.”
