The Dr. Olaolu Mudasiru Foundation has awarded its first university scholarship to Eniolaoluwa John Sohe, a standout student from the Nigerian Military School, Zaria.
Presented on the second anniversary of Mudasiru’s death, the scholarship honours the late philanthropist and investment banker’s legacy by supporting exceptional young talents with academic excellence and societal impact potential. The foundation, founded in March 2024 to advance education and social development, focuses on creating opportunities in education, entrepreneurship, and the arts, extending Mudasiru’s lifelong dedication to uplifting underserved communities and fostering future Nigerian leaders.
His commitment to education and societal progress remains a guiding principle for the foundation’s initiatives. Following Eniolaoluwa’s admission to Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH) to study Sociology, the scholarship covers full tuition payments for the course duration and a stipend for accommodation and upkeep, which will significantly impact his academic journey by removing financial barriers and allowing him to focus on his studies fully.
Speaking at the ceremony, the foundation’s chairman, Ohis Ohiwerei, explained that the late Mudasiru believed deeply in education’s transformative power.
“This scholarship is more than an award. It’s a call to uphold integrity, service, and excellence,” said Ohiwerei. “Eniolaoluwa, your diligence and determination embody boundless potential, and we are honoured to support your journey.”
He noted that its mission extends beyond a single scholarship, aiming to create a ripple effect of opportunity and professional excellence that transforms lives and communities.
The father of the scholarship recipient, Rev. Oluwaseyi Sunday Sohe, expressed gratitude, saying, “This scholarship is more than financial support. It’s a chance to transform Eniolaoluwa’s future and give back to the community.”
