Ozo Jeff Scheme Doles Out Millions To Four New Students, Urges Them To Aspire For The Top

Ozo Jeff Nweke, the Chief Executive Officer of Blue Shield Security company Ltd, has encouraged youths to pursue their dreams and aspirations with the belief that they can attain their highest heights in life.

Nweke said this while handing over million of naira in scholarship for university students under Ozo Jeff Scholarship Scheme.

The beneficiaries were four newly admitted students of Nnamdi Azikiwe University,Awka.

The beneficiaries and their departments were Ngama Hope Chidera- English language and Literary studies; Okonkwo John- Statistics; Alieze Samson- Education Management and Policy and David Emmanuel- Philosophy.

He said the money ranging from N1 million and N1.5 million would enable recipients to pay tuition and procure their educational needs for the first quarter of the year

He charged them to eschew cultism and other evil groups that cut human ambition short.

“All those characteristics that paved the way for you to secure this scholarship should not depart from you.

“I implore you all to add more to them so they will reflect in you to be better human beings as you all have the traits of being president or governors in future.

“You have the potential of great achievers but if you do not work hard to maximise those potentials in you, they will all perish in you”, he said.

He urged them to watch their lifestyle and peer influence and be prayerful.

According to him, for those who have made it in life it wasn’t by mere sudden flight but through hard work because while their companions were busy sleeping, they were toiling in the dark.

Also speaking, Ikechukwu Chinweze, the Director of Ozo Jeff Education Scholarship Scheme, said that the programme had run for two years .

Chinweze said Ozo Jeff had done more than this in the previous years by taking the academic responsibility of many other newly admitted students.

The programme, he said was strictly a sponsorship on education to tertiary institutions and Ozo Jeff has spent not less than N100m since its commencement.

He also explained that the scholarship offer transverses throughout the entire states of Nigeria as beneficiaries were drawn from different states.

To qualify for the offer, the school authority of the beneficiary must be contacted to enquire about his or her socio-moral conduct and the person’s academic conduct must be screened before forwarding any successful names to the foundation.

One after the other, the beneficiaries in their speeches thanked Ozo Jeff for his benevolence.

Okonkwo John offered Scholarship to read Statistics, thanked him for finding them worthy to spend his hard earned money in their academic pursuit and prayed that God will keep replenishing his purse and give him more courage to continue helping the downtrodden.

Ngama Hope for English language and Literary studies in thanking the Benefactor said: “This is just the only hope I have for attending my academic pursuit and fulfilling my aspirations. I can only say ‘Thank you’ to our life saver, destiny helper, an angel in disguise.

“I started paying my school fees from primary three through hair braiding because a lot of things happened which made me move from home and by staying with people as a house help just to go to school.

“This is a major breakthrough for me, it’s a major push because I never knew that I am going to further my education”, she narrated tearfully.
