OPay Expands ₦1.2bn Scholarship Initiative To FUTMINNA

OPay, one of the nation’s leading financial institutions, has announced the extension of its ₦1.2 billion 10-Year Scholarship Initiative to students of the Federal University of Technology, Minna (FUTMINNA).

The scholarship initiative, designed to ease the financial burden on students and help them focus fully on their studies, marks another milestone in OPay’s broader commitment to youth empowerment and national development through education.

The managing director, Dauda Gotring, emphasised the company’s dedication to fostering educational advancement.

“At OPay, we recognize the importance of education in nation-building. We are proud to support these students on their journey toward achieving greatness. This is part of our broader commitment to empowering Nigeria’s youth,” Gotring affirmed.

The partnership with FUTMINNA marks the latest milestone in OPay’s nationwide education initiative, which has already extended support to students across various Nigerian universities.

At a recent MOU signing event, a student emotionally expressed his appreciation, saying, “I am grateful to OPay for this initiative because it has helped me stay focused. When I first gained admission into a higher institution, I couldn’t afford my tuition and had to drop out to work and raise funds. Even now, I face the same challenge. This scholarship is a lifeline, and I truly appreciate OPay for this incredible gesture.”

As the programme continues to expand, OPay remains committed to equipping young Nigerians to enable them succeed academically and professionally.

Through this long-term initiative, OPay is reaffirming its role not just as a financial service provider, but as a partner in shaping a brighter and more inclusive future for Nigeria.
