Mr. Jim Ovia has fully supported it in order to provide financial assistance to exceptional Nigerian youths.

Previously, the scholarship was known as the MUSTE scholarship. The initiative provides an average of 100 possibilities each year for new candidates, while renewing applicants are supported annually if they meet all of the scholarship’s eligibility requirements.

Since October 2010, Mr. Ovia has invested over 100 million Naira in the initiative to serve 1500 people and counting.
