TecnoMobile doles out scholarships in cash prizes to three public school pupils

Primary school pupils in Ipaja-Ayobo and Ijaiye Ojokoro Local Government Areas of Lagos State were all smiles as they celebrated Children’s Day with TECNO Mobile. The celebration saw three pupils - Ayoola Taofeeqot of Abesan Primary school Ipaja, Roger Kehinde of Estate Primary school Ipaja, and Ossai Ukamaka from Community Primary School Ayobo, go home with N100,000 in cash scholarship.

The winners were selected from an openly conducted quiz competition which saw the most outstanding pupils from the various primary schools contest for the scholarship prize award.

Globally, the issue of quality education is a big concern. Several nations are placing education at the top of their priority list because they know that majority of the world’s problem is a knowledge problem. Unfortunately, most developing nations are still struggling to find a place for education in their system. They are yet to build good infrastructures or even gather expert administrators to cater for this sector. As a country, if we must break out of the cocoon of bad leadership, vices, anomalies and poverty amongst other things then, we must take our educational system seriously and start to treat it with kid gloves. 

Thankfully, the government has made every public school tuition-free. In some cases however, the extra charges students have to pay are still on the high side. Inasmuch as it is believed that the government has the power to do more, it is also believed that we will get a perfect educational system faster as a country if every individual and corporate entity does their bit towards achieving this feat. In a bid to mitigate this challenge, TECNO Mobile distributed educational materials to every pupil in seven different schools, days to the children’s day celebrations. The aim of this project was to make the pupils feel loved and have a positive mindset about life.This is the third consecutive year which Tecno Mobile has undertaken this CSR initiative, visiting schools and showing support for child education. This was done in collaboration with TalentBOOM, a not-for-profit which shares the same ideals of promoting grassroots education and child development. 

For a better tomorrow, let’s all take responsibility for rebuilding our nation and making our society safe for our kids with every action or decision we make. Let’s instill the right values in them, guide and guard their thoughts, show them love at all times and groom them to be responsible adults. Together let’s empower our kids to be globally competitive and locally impactful
