Nigerian businessman and philanthropist, Mr Ndubuokwu Uche Victor, has awarded scholarships to five pupils of the CleverMinds Free Primary School in Iyara, Warri, Delta State.
The scholarships cover the children’s six years of secondary education, removing the financial barriers often preventing bright but underprivileged pupils from continuing their studies.
In addition to the scholarships, Victor donated food items to support the school’s feeding programme.
The items included nine bags of rice, five bags of beans, 15 cartons of spaghetti, seasoning cubes, tomato paste, palm and groundnut oil, baskets of crayfish and pepper, among other essentials.
The supplies are expected to sustain the school’s free-meal initiative for several months, ensuring that over 325 orphans and vulnerable children enrolled at CleverMinds continue receiving nutritious meals.
The school’s management expressed gratitude to the donor and described the gesture as “a blessing that nourishes both the body and the spirit of the children.”
CleverMinds Educational Foundation runs the free school and provides tuition, meals and emotional support to children from some of Warri’s most disadvantaged communities.
Founded in 2017, the foundation has educated and supported more than 300 pupils, many of whom are orphans or from single-parent households.
