Tinubu’s Daughter Offers Scholarship To 1,000 Prospective Havilla Varsity Students

Mujidat Folashade Tinubu-Ojo, the Iyaloja-General of Nigeria, has unveiled  a scholarship scheme for over 1,000 indigent students seeking admission into Havilla University Nde 3 -Corner, Ikom local government area of Cross River State for the 2025/2026 academic session.

The tuition-free award valued at  N400,000 is in commemoration of her second anniversary as the pro-chancellor and chairman of the Governing Council of Havilla University.

Confirming the scholarship award in a telephone conversation after marking the two-year anniversary in office  as the institution’s pro-chancellor, she averred that the initiative reflected her commitment to youth empowerment and educational advancement.

Mrs Tinubu-Ojo  described education as “the only leveler between the rich and the poor in society.”  emphasizing that every Nigerian youth deserves access to quality education to ensure a brighter future for the nation.

The Iyaloja-General expressed gratitude to the Governing Council of Havilla University, led by the Chancellor, Hon Jones Tangban, a former member representing Ikom/Boki federal constituency,  for their exceptional leadership, which has ranked Havilla University among Africa’s leading institutions.

In his remarks, Tangban thanked Iyaloja-General for her generosity, noting that her gesture aligns with the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Tinubu’s administration, even though the scholarships are personally funded.

The scholarship programme adds to her extensive record of educational support, with thousands of beneficiaries across institutions such as Philomath University, GrandPlus College of Education, Kwara State, and Foreign Link Academy campuses nationwide.

Iyaloja-General had earlier commissioned the Folasade Tinubu-Ojo Complex of the institution and later laid the foundation for the Folasade Tinubu-Ojo Centre for Vocational Studies at the University grounds to further strengthen her legacy in educational development.

In her closing remarks, Iyaloja-General urged prospective beneficiaries to embrace the opportunity with all seriousness.
