Salome Acheju Abuh was a committed wife, mother of four, grandmother of six, and a staunch advocate for rural development. Tragically, she lost her life when political thugs set fire to her home in Ochadamu. The SAAF was established to honor her legacy and support the education of underprivileged students in her name.

Application deadlne is 11th September 2024. This scholarship offers a unique opportunity for students in rural Kogi State to pursue their educational goals while being mentored to become responsible and well-behaved youth, continuing Salome Abuh's commitment to community development.
