QAT Foundation Awards Scholarships to 370 Students in Celebration of First Lady's birthday

The QAT Foundation, led by CEO Hajiya Halimat Tejuosho Adenike, has awarded scholarships to 370 students across Nigeria in a gesture marking the 64th birthday of Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu. The ceremony, which took place at Luchia Hotel, Kaduna, provided scholarships to 150 out-of-school primary students, 150 secondary school students, and 70 undergraduate students from tertiary institutions.

This initiative, aimed at uplifting vulnerable groups such as out-of-school children and persons living with disabilities (PLWDs), reflects the foundation’s mission to bridge Nigeria’s educational gap.

Hajiya Halimat Tejuosho highlighted the pivotal role of education in breaking the cycle of poverty, stating, “This scholarship initiative demonstrates our commitment to empowering those who otherwise wouldn’t have access to quality education. Education is key to social equity.”

Tejuosho also praised the First Lady's enduring influence, saying, “Senator Oluremi Tinubu is a beacon of leadership, selflessness, and compassion. Her dedication to empowering women, children, and the less privileged has inspired millions. It is an honor to celebrate her life and contributions on this special day.”

Beneficiaries of the QAT Foundation scholarship program expressed their gratitude for the life-changing opportunity. Aminu Ibrahim, a primary school recipient, shared his excitement, saying, “This scholarship gives me the chance to continue my education and pursue my dreams.”

Josephine Kazah, a secondary school awardee, remarked, “This is a blessing. I am committed to making the most of this opportunity.” Meanwhile, undergraduate student Temidare Shakira Lawal emphasized the financial relief the scholarship provided, stating, “I’m grateful for the QAT Foundation’s investment in my future.”
