The Muyideen Okunlola Kayode (MOK) Foundation on Wednesday distributed free 2026 WAEC Scholarship Forms to 17 secondary schools in Offa Local Government.

Stakeholders Laud Initiative
Speaking during the event, Chairman of the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT), Offa branch, Mr. Tajudeen Babalola Saliu, decried the rising rate of out-of-school children due to parents’ inability to pay levies as low as ₦500.
“I have a very brilliant student who has been absent for two weeks because her parents couldn’t afford third-term levies. This gesture by the MOK Foundation is timely, and we appeal to the Foundation to consider Offa NUT in its future programmes,” he said.
Chairman of the All Nigeria Conference of Principals of Secondary Schools (ANCOPS), Offa chapter, Mr. Oyeleke Joseph Babalola, commended the Foundation for its sustained investment in human capital development.
“Offa has no other major industry apart from education. The MOK Foundation is helping to secure the future of children who will positively impact society,” he noted.
He also offered prayers for the founder, Qs. Muhydeen Okunlola Kayode.
The Principal of Ansar-ud-Deen College Offa, Mrs. Nafisat Olabisi Ayantola, also applauded the gesture, describing it as a relief to parents and a motivation to students preparing for their final examinations.
Foundation Reaffirms Commitment
The Director of Media, Mr. Nurudeen Ojo Mohammed, explained that the MOK Foundation continues to invest in education, healthcare, security support, empowerment, sports, and youth development.
According to him, the 2026 WAEC Scholarship programme is part of the Foundation’s mission to ensure that no child’s educational journey is truncated due to financial hardship.
Mr. Saheed Lawal, speaking on behalf of the founder, Qs Muhydeen Okunlola Kayode stressed that the Foundation would sustain its educational initiatives and deepen its presence in Offa communities.
“The mission is to reach out to the lowest of the low. The most deserving members of the society. Every child deserves access to quality education and the opportunity to write WAEC without fear of financial barriers. We remain committed to lighting the path toward brighter futures,” he said.
A Boost for Students Ahead of 2026 Exams
The distribution exercise concluded with principals expressing gratitude as they departed with the scholarship forms.
The MOK Foundation’s intervention continues to position it as one of the leading educational-support organisations in Kwara State, especially at the grassroots level.
