In order to support the education of youth in Kogi state, the governorship candidate of the Action Alliance (AA) in the November 11 polls, Mr. Olayinka Braimoh, has paid the school fees of 200 students.
Receiving the cheques in Lokoja on Friday on behalf of others, Comrade Saliu Abdulsalam said Braimoh’s kind gesture to the students was new in the state.
Abdulsalam, who described the gesture as “timely,” said some indigent students had already lost hope of joining their colleagues to write the examinations for the current semester and that God had used the governorship hopeful to wipe away their tears.
In his remarks, the president of the National Association of Kogi State Students (NAKOSS), who was represented by his Chief of Staff, Comrade Akande Ezekiel, described Braimoh as a Godly and reliable man.
Responding, Braimoh urged the students to face their studies and shun anything capable of truncating their future, noting that the “present and future of Nigeria belongs to the youth.”
