Dr. Adewale Kolapo Kareem (AKK), a staunch advocate for educational and community development in Oyo State, has unveiled his annual Free Scholarship program aimed at providing quality education to the less privileged. As part of this initiative, the first 10 students from Oyo State who register at Attaofeequ Billahi International School (ABIS) between September 1st and September 10th, 2024, will receive a full scholarship for their entire stay at the institution.

This scholarship program is a testament to Dr. AKK’s commitment to the “Every Child Matters” agenda, which he has championed since 2022. His dedication to empowering the youth through education is reflected in his belief that “Education is the most powerful weapon to use to change the world.” By offering this opportunity, Dr. AKK is not only providing access to quality education but also investing in the future leaders of Oyo State.

Subsidized Tuition Fees – Broadening Access to Quality Education

Dr. AKK’s vision extends beyond the scholarship, with a commitment to making education accessible to all, regardless of financial status. Since 2022, tuition fees at ABIS, which were initially set above Six Hundred Thousand Naira per term, have been significantly subsidized to range between ₦37,000 and ₦71,000 per term. This adjustment includes essential aspects of the curriculum such as Qur’an memorization, vocational skills training, and technology integration—ensuring a holistic education for all students.
