Expressing her motivation for the initiative,Mercy Chinwo said,“Port Harcourt is home to me any day.The memories are fresh of a city where I dared to dream and hope for a purposeful life.I thank the Lord for His work in me and through me so far.The scholarship is to inspire students that their dreams and ambitions are valid and not to give up because there is a God who has ‘Excess Love’,” referencing her popular song.
