The selection was announced at the Grand Finale of the 39th Akoraye Day Celebration held in Modakeke on December 14, 2024.
Amusan, a former student of Royal Comprehensive High School, now admitted to study Computer Engineering at the University of Lagos, was recognised for his academic brilliance and remarkable achievements, having met the stringent requirements of the scholarship and earning an impressive 85% score in the 2024 UTME.
He had earlier received the late Oluwole Odelola Foundation’s Cash Award for Best WASSCE Result in Modakeke, further solidifying his reputation as an exceptional student.

This scholarship will cover Amusan’s entire tuition fees and provide monthly stipends to support his living costs throughout his academic journey.
The award underscores the foundation’s commitment to education and its focus on empowering talented but financially disadvantaged students to excel in technology fields, contributing to Nigeria’s future development.
During the announcement, Aare Adedayo Ojo emphasized the foundation’s commitment to empowering talented but financially disadvantaged students.
