She stated, "In Nigeria, according to UNICEF, over 10 million children are out of school, with 60 percent of them being girls. Our aim is to narrow this gap. Furthermore, we firmly believe that education is the foundation for a brighter future. By investing in these girls, we are not only transforming their lives but also contributing to the progress of our society as a whole."
Omogbolagun also disclosed that the selection process for the scholarship recipients was rigorous, with candidates assessed based on academic excellence, leadership potential, and their dedication to community development.
"The three chosen beneficiaries, including an ambitious young lady with physical challenges, exhibited remarkable promise and an unwavering commitment to overcoming adversity," she added.
Mrs. Tomisin Latinwo, the Director of Mentoring, expressed the Foundation's ongoing commitment to creating lasting impact in the lives of underprivileged individuals. She stated, "As these three determined young women, along with those already on our scholarship and mentoring program, embark on their educational journey, they serve as beacons of hope for countless others in similar circumstances. With the right support, barriers can be overcome, and dreams can be realized. Daddy's Girls has set a commendable example for philanthropy and empowerment, demonstrating that every investment in education is an investment in a brighter future for all. We hope that other non-governmental organizations will follow suit because, together, we can make a significant difference."
