Igbuzor Foundation Appoints Akpore to Lead Annual Scholarship Programme
Warri—The Ejiro and Otive Igbuzor Foundation has appointed Mr. Foster Akpore to coordinate and oversee its Annual Scholarship Programme, in a move aimed at strengthening transparency and effective delivery of educational support across beneficiary communities.
The appointment, conveyed in an official communication by the Foundation’s Executive Director, Mr. Monday Osasah, assigns Akpore the responsibility for the planning, coordination, and implementation of the scheme. The programme targets selected primary schools, including Emonu Primary School, Ugono Primary School, and Aganbi Primary School.
Under the mandate, Akpore is to supervise the full cycle of the scholarship awards, ensuring that the process remains merit-driven and aligned with the Foundation’s objectives. He is also expected to liaise with participating schools to identify qualified beneficiaries and maintain accurate records of recipients.
The scholarship structure provides for ₦30,000 per class from Primary One to Five, amounting to ₦150,000 per school and a total allocation of ₦450,000 across the three schools. In addition, awards for the best male and female pupils are capped at ₦15,000 each.
The Foundation further directed that proper documentation be maintained and periodic reports submitted after each cycle, as part of efforts to uphold accountability and track impact.
Osasah expressed confidence in Akpore’s capacity to manage the programme, noting that the role takes immediate effect and requires close collaboration with the Foundation’s management to ensure coherence with its broader interventions.
