Amuwo-Odofin has witnessed another positive change and addition to its community as the teenagers who are secondary school leavers have been recognised.
Kuth Foundation launched its pilot project the “KUTH back to School” which was borne with the need to assist in curbing the moral decadence that the society is faced with in the community.
The pilot scheme of the project was flagged of on August 21, 2019 at Frankkids Amusement Park events centre at 5th Avenue W Close, Festac Town.
The idea behind “KUTH Back to School” project is to make available free GCE forms to a minimum of twenty (20) indigent students living within Amuwo Odofin LGA on a regular basis.
A thorough process was utilised with a portal opened for interested students on 5th of August and ended on 19th of August with high number of applications received.
A total number of twenty-five (25) beneficiaries who met the Foundation’s criteria were were formally presented with their GCE forms.
in attendance at the launch were the Founder/Principal Promoter of KUTH Foundation, Mr. Gerald Azonobo , friends of KUTH Foundation, Mr. Seun Makanjuola (Big Max), Mr. Akinremi Mustapha of Black Water Records and Mr. Kolade Oladapo of GFX Media and other stakeholders.
Speaking at the occasion, the Program Director of KUTH Foundation, Prince Francis Chilaka told the lucky winners that “Success is what you want it to be. It’s not what your father, mother, siblings, pastor or even teach want. It is solely what you want.”
While formally welcoming the lucky winners to the event, the Project Coordinator, Mr. Wale Aderoju made them to understand that the gesture is part of the Foundation’s contribution to the development of Education and molding of future leaders in Festac Town and its environs.
According to the foundation,
80% of of the teenagers who engage in drug addiction, cultism, prostitution, teenage pregnancy, abortion, examination malpractices and rape are Secondary School Leavers who failed WAEC at their first sitting and whose parents are unable to re-enroll them for GCE due to lack of funds within Amuwo Odofin LGA specifically in Festac Town.
The students, parents, teachers and residents of Festac Town could not hold back their tears of joy as they prayed and thanked the Founder/Principal Promoter of the Foundation and his team for their kind gesture.
