While presenting the award, the lead Brother of the Foundation, Mr.
Emeka Asike, explained that he started the programme due to the decaying nature of education in Omambala region, revealing that within one year, the Foundation has provided scholarship to over six hundred students.


He explained that Mrs. Ajide has shown exemplary lifestyle and humanitarian gesture towards students, who could no longer continue their education due to paucity of funds, urging her to sustain the momentum.


Responding, Mrs. Ajide commended the Foundation for recognizing her and pledged to re-double her efforts towards alleviating the plight of the downtrodden.


Mrs. Ajide, who said she was elated having received the award alongside Reverend Father Professor Josephat Oguejiofor, said her significant contribution to students is due to her love and passion for education which she described as the best legacy to children.
