The Enyioha Foundation has unveiled a new STEM Scholarship Programme designed to empower indigenous youths of Ibeku land in Abia State through education in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.
The initiative, announced as part of the foundation’s broader commitment to youth development, will support academically promising students who demonstrate both potential and financial need. Beneficiaries will receive financial assistance, mentorship and access to learning resources to help them excel in their chosen fields.
Speaking at the launch, the founder of the foundation, Samfrank Abarikwu, stressed the importance of investing in young people, particularly in critical sectors that drive innovation and economic growth.
“We believe that the future of our community lies in the hands of our youth. By investing in STEM education, we are not only opening doors for individual success but also building a foundation for innovation, growth and long-term development in Ibeku land and across Abia State,” he said.
Abarikwu also commended the Governor of Abia State, Alex Otti, for what he described as significant strides in repositioning the state’s education sector.
“We acknowledge and commend the giant strides of Governor Alex Otti in advancing education in Abia. His efforts continue to inspire initiatives like ours, as we collectively work towards empowering the next generation of leaders in our communities,” he added.
The scholarship is open exclusively to indigenous Ibeku youths who are currently admitted into recognised tertiary institutions and are pursuing STEM-related disciplines.
The Enyioha Foundation noted that the initiative underscores its ongoing dedication to nurturing future leaders and creating pathways for sustainable development within Abia.
