In celebration of her 50th birthday, women advocate and computer scientist, Mrs Oluyemisi Adesina, has rolled out scholarships to some female science students who are financially challenged in Lagos.
Adesina in a statement said the scholarship would help the students to pursue their dreams and fulfil their career developments.
She said, “Basically, I believe in capacity development, empowerment and making sure every living soul lives a meaningful life. This to me is changing lives and uplifting humanity.
“I have commitments to demonstrate this by rolling out scholarships for some female science students who are financially challenged. This I feel will help them pursue their dreams and fulfil their career developments.
“I have also decided to celebrate my 50th birthday by paying some medical bills for patients in the hospitals. I decided to settle the bills of some people who cannot afford to pay their hospital bills. As a product of the church which loves singing, musical equipment was donated to some religious organisations. I have also decided to give wonderful gifts packaged for the first baby to be born on this great day of July 6, 2023.”
Adesina advised the young generation, especially the girl-child to remain focus on their career. “They must remember at all times that they are jewels created for special purposes. They should not allow anybody to derail their dreams or waste the potential God has deposited in their lives.
“I must say this please do not fall prey to predators and peer pressure, which is now a major problem for a girl child. Women should be more committed to raising their female children by educating them and providing for their basic needs. This in my view will not allow them to fall prey.
“I will also advise our young girls to be hardworking and dedicate time to their studies. They must always aspire to be great in life and be a role model to their family and country,” she said.
