In a letter dated December 4, 2025 and signed by the Principal, Elder Eji Etta Tawo, the school described the gesture as a “tremendous boost” to the educational journey of the beneficiaries and a clear demonstration of Dr. Ayuk’s commitment to nurturing young minds.
According to the school, the scholarship will not only ease financial burdens on parents but will also inspire students to work harder, knowing that their dreams and efforts are being supported. Elder Tawo noted that such investments in education help shape future leaders and strengthen the foundation of communities like Etomi.
“As the Principal, I sincerely acknowledge the receipt of ₦419,900 released for 38 students. Once again, thank you,” he stated, describing the support as timely and impactful. He added that the funds would greatly assist the beneficiaries and reinforce the school’s drive for academic excellence.
