Adekunle Ojo, SAN, President-General of the association, explained the purpose of the fund. “This is a double-barrelled event. The first is to launch an endowment fund for our school. This is about the education of the students. This has nothing to do with the structural interventions. We have a separate fund for that. The fund is knowledge-based. We believe this will help the students in a better way,” he said.
Ojo emphasized that the fund would support less privileged students. “The fund will be used to care for the less privileged students. We are going to look beyond the box because education in the country seems to no longer be rubbing on society. We will take them through training that can help. We will pay for the West African Senior School Certificate Examination of the indigent,” he added.

They have done pretty well,” Ojo noted.
