Jubril Martins-Kuye Foundation, a foundation established in honour of the late ex-Minister of State for Finance, Jubril Martins-Kuye, has recently awarded bursaries worth N5 million to medical students at the Olabisi Onabanjo University (OOU).
This generous gesture is aimed at supporting the educational pursuits of these students, many of whom face significant financial challenges. The bursary awards are part of the foundation’s efforts to contribute to the development of future healthcare professionals in Nigeria.
The Jubril Martins-Kuye Foundation has been actively involved in various philanthropic activities, particularly in the education sector. By providing financial assistance to medical students, the foundation hopes to alleviate some of the financial burdens these students face, allowing them to focus more on their studies and future careers in healthcare.
This initiative is seen as a significant step towards addressing the financial barriers that often hinder the academic progress of medical students in Nigerian universities. It also underscores the importance of private sector and philanthropic contributions to education and healthcare development in the country.
