The program, named the “Renewed Hope Scholarship Scheme,” is a collaborative effort with the National Image Scholarship, a consortium dedicated to providing educational support.

Its primary objective is to empower young people who aspire to advance their education but face financial constraints.

Hon. Bamigbade underscored that this initiative aligns perfectly with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration’s “Renewed Hope Agenda,” which aims to offer equal opportunities for all, a commitment made during the campaign.

He emphasized the crucial role of education in enhancing national development and ensuring that the younger population remains engaged in constructive pursuits, thereby avoiding involvement in activities detrimental to their future.

Bamigbade elaborated, “The All Progressives Congress Professionals Council and National Image Magazine, through a Public-Private Partnership (P.P.P.), are extending support to economically disadvantaged young secondary school graduates who have achieved at least five credits, including English and Mathematics.

This support will enable them to pursue higher education, including university, polytechnic (OND/HND degrees), and college of education programs, with free admission into our designated Public-Private Partnership higher education institutions in Nigeria.

The scholarship covers tuition fees throughout their academic careers.” The program aims to select 1,000 youths from each state in the federation, along with the FCT.
