MTN Nigeria Foundation Supports Education, Donates School Supplies To Over 1000 Students

LAGOS – MTN Nigeria Foundation recently embarked on an initiative to donate support materials to nominated schools in seven states across the six geopolitical zones, including Edo, Oyo, Katsina, Nasarawa, Bau­chi, Anambra and Enugu.

The donations form part of the foundation’s Learning Support Ma­terials Initiative (LSMI) aimed at improving learning experiences for students nationwide.

The MTNF Learning Support Ma­terial Initiative (LSMI) is a program created to empower students with essential academic tools, enabling them to reach their highest academ­ic capabilities.

Over 1000 students received vital resources such as school bags and ex­ercise books, with the schools also receiving additional equipment like umbrellas and Wi-Fi routers to aid the implementation of technology in learning.

The initiative forms part of MTN Foundation’s broader commitment to youth empowerment and educa­tional development in Nigeria. Over the years, the foundation has invest­ed in education through several ini­tiatives.

These include the MTN Scholar­ship Scheme for science and technol­ogy students and blind scholars at the undergraduate level.

Additionally, MTN Foundation’s Science and Technology Lab Project (STLP) has resulted in the refurbish­ment of 102 science laboratories in public secondary schools across the country.

Speaking on the Learning Sup­port Material Initiative (LSMI) and the Foundation’s dedication to national development through ed­ucation, Executive Director, MTN Foundation, Odunayo Sanya, said :“At MTN Nigeria Foundation, we believe that education is the corner­stone of growth and development, and all students deserve access to the resources necessary to unlock their full potential.

“This initiative emphasizes our commitment to fostering an enabling environment for learning and sup­porting access to quality education.”

The impact of these donations was evident and appreciated by students who expressed that the learning materials would aid their learning process and educators who affirmed that they would be put to good use.

This initiative demonstrates how corporate entities can play pivotal roles in supporting societal needs while promoting sustainable devel­opment within the communities they serve.

The Learning Support Materials Initiative by MTN Foundation high­lights its unwavering dedication towards empowering young minds across Nigeria. Through strategic educational support programs, the foundation contributes to bridging resource gaps faced by several pub­lic institutions and shaping brighter futures nationwide.
