The Young Executive Forum has awarded full-session tuition scholarships to 10 financially disadvantaged students of Yaba College of Technology, Lagos. This initiative is part of the activities marking the 50th birthday of Dr. Ayodele Ogunsan, the Executive Secretary of the Lagos State Security Trust Fund. Ogunsan, an alumnus of YABATECH, has a longstanding interest in youth development and education.
The scholarship award reflects Ogunsan's approach to mentorship and human capital development. According to Desmond Nnebue, Chairman of the 50th Birthday Celebration Committee, the scholarship aims to remove financial barriers to education, empowering young people. The beneficiaries represent the kind of future leaders Ogunsan has consistently sought to support.
The Young Executive Forum was established by Ogunsan as a leadership platform for mentoring and developing emerging professionals across different sectors. The scholarship award is part of a broader commitment to sustaining Ogunsan's emphasis on education, mentorship, and human capacity development. This initiative combines the celebration of Ogunsan's milestone with direct support for students at YABATECH.
Ogunsan, a public servant and entrepreneur, currently heads the LSSTF, overseeing initiatives relating to security infrastructure, inter-agency collaboration, and capacity development in Lagos. Before his appointment to the fund, he built interests in the education and security sectors and remained involved in initiatives focused on mentoring young people.
The scholarship scheme supports students at the institution that formed part of Ogunsan's own educational foundation. According to Nnebue, "Dr. Ayo Ogunsan's life is a masterclass in purposeful leadership, selflessness, and continuous investment in human capital." The initiative preserves a culture of mentorship and nation-building that Ogunsan has spent 50 years exemplifying.
The beneficiaries of the scholarship are financially disadvantaged students who will receive full-session tuition support. This award will help alleviate the financial burden on these students, allowing them to focus on their studies. The Young Executive Forum's initiative demonstrates its commitment to supporting education and youth development.
The scholarship award to 10 YABATECH students is a significant milestone in Ogunsan's 50th birthday celebration. The initiative showcases Ogunsan's dedication to giving back to his alma mater and investing in the next generation of leaders. The Young Executive Forum's efforts to sustain Ogunsan's legacy in education and mentorship are commendable.
