He said the organisation has over the years championed the growth and development of young people in the country irrespective of their religious or ethnic affiliations.
According to him, the foundation since its establishment in the year 2000 has continued to be a source of dreams come through to numerous Nigerians, even as it continues to impact women and senior citizens.
He said the beneficiaries who are undergraduate students of various tertiary institutions will have their Tuition fees paid by the APC PC in support of the Tinubu / Shettima Presidential Mandate.
In her address, Senator Remi Tinubu, who was represented by Prince Adetokunbo Ademola a chieftain of APC at the event, said this is one way the federal lawmaker has demonstrated commitment to investing towards the future of young Nigerians since becoming First Lady of Lagos State in the year 1999.

According to Ademola, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu will usher in new frontiers in youth programmes, geared towards their development and growth if elected the country’s president in the February presidential election.
Ademola, while noting that Tinubu is one of the biggest investors in social welfare in the country, appealed to the scholarship beneficiaries and young people, in general, to massively support Tinubu to emerge as the country’s next president.
