Maikaya Development’s Education Support Fund has disbursed twenty thousand naira each to five hundred and twenty-five (525) students from Nasarawa State pursuing tertiary education in institutions across Nigeria.
Annually, the foundation offers scholarships and other forms of support. It actively supports youth and women and provides water and other essential needs across the three senatorial districts of the State.
This initiative is consistent with the foundation’s ongoing pledge to support quality education and accommodate individuals who lack access to educational resources.
The foundation has played a crucial role in advancing healthcare by incorporating 750 vulnerable individuals into Nasarawa State’s health insurance scheme.
The Chief Executive Officer of the Maikaya Development Foundation, Dr. Musa Muhammed Maikaya, disclosed in a telephone conversation with our correspondent on Friday that the educational support was in fulfilment of the pledge made by the foundation during the inauguration of a motorised borehole in the Toto local government area.
Maikaya, a prominent Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, and former governorship aspirant, emphasized that the foundation will persevere until it achieves its core goals, namely providing for the people, generating more opportunities, and augmenting government efforts.
He urged students, particularly the beneficiaries of his Foundation Educational Support, to capitalize on this opportunity by dedicating themselves to their studies, thereby enhancing their position in society.
Numerous students who have benefited from the Maikaya Development Foundation’s support have flooded social media with expressions of gratitude to the CEO Maikaya Foundation for his consistent and unwavering commitment to their educational pursuits.
The students offered prayers for Maikaya’s continued guidance, protection, and prosperity, while also urging successful Nigerians to follow the example set by the Toto LG-born grassroots politician and entrepreneur.
Global Times Nigeria reports that the Maikaya Development Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the social, economic, and health welfare of individuals and communities, founded by Alhaji Musa Muhammed Maikaya, also known as the Ciroman Toto.
