OPay, one of Nigeria’s leading financial institutions, has extended its 1.2 billion 10-year scholarship initiative to Kwara State Polytechnic.

It said the gesture is part of its unwavering commitment to youth development and academic excellence in Nigeria.

With the development, 20 outstanding students from the institution will be awarded scholarships worth ₦300,000 each, becoming some of the latest beneficiaries of OPay’s admirable long-term scholarship programme.

This also makes Kwara Polytechnic the first polytechnic to benefit from OPay’s 10-year scholarship programme.

OPay said the scholarship is aimed at reducing the financial burden faced by students and to enable them to concentrate fully on their academic and personal growth.

Speaking on the expansion of the initiative to Kwara Polytechnic, Dauda Gotring, MD/CEO at OPay, highlighted the company’s long-term vision, saying, “Our scholarship support is to ensure that the dreams of talented scholars do not die.”

Through the scholarship programme, OPay said “we’re not just easing the financial stress of today’s students but empowering a generation that will drive innovation and progress.”

Responding, the Rector of Kwara State Polytechnic, Engr. Abdul Jimoh Mohammed, thanked OPay for bringing the scholarship to the school which, he noted, will have a huge impact on the benefiting students.

“This will give them the motivation to excel in their academics and beyond,” the rector said.
