TheMike Omotosho Foundation International Scholarship(MOFIS) has offered tuition waivers to 10,000 Nigerian students who want to study undergraduate and postgraduate programs in Cyprus, Malaysia, India and Russia.
Speaking at the unveiling of the program, MOFIS Founder,Mike Omotosho, said it was set up to help Nigerian students gain quality education abroad.
Omotosho noted that many Nigerian students have not been able to acquire the sets of skills and knowledge that is needed by employers due to the shortfall of admission spots available.
"We have over 1.5 million candidates apply annually for admissions into universities nationwide but only about 600,000 are admitted," he said.
"Some of these unsuccessful applicants become frustrated and sometimes, resort to crimes; hence the need for meaningful access to university education has recently become indispensable in Nigeria as a result of population increase and volume of awareness of the role of the university education in the development of the individual and the nation at large."
"The foundation is committed with her partners to walk our Youth through the right path, because we believe that access to quality education is the lifeline for a bright tomorrow."
All Nigerian students with at least 5 credits in their O Level Examination are eligible.
Mike Omotosho Foundation International Scholarship was founded in 2010.
