Fees paid for students who could not pay them, schools rebuilt, and science laboratories installed in public schools across the constituency.
Open to students of the twenty-eight public secondary schools in Enugu North and Enugu South Federal Constituency. Places are won on merit through a competitive scholarship examination. Complete the application form to be entered for the next examination.
Two months after assuming office an Education Board was established under the Foundation, led by Dr. Chidi Ezinwa, Head of the Department of Mass Communication at Enugu State University of Science and Technology.
In the 2023/2024 academic session the Foundation awarded WAEC and NECO scholarships to one hundred and seven secondary school students drawn from the twenty-eight public secondary schools of the constituency. The beneficiaries were students who could not afford to pay their examination fees.
Beneficiaries of that first WAEC and JAMB programme were subsequently granted full university scholarships, carrying the same students from secondary school through to higher education.
In the 2024/2025 and 2025/2026 sessions the Foundation awarded scholarships to three hundred and fifty secondary school students across the same twenty-eight schools. Those three hundred and fifty were selected on merit from two thousand candidates who sat the scholarship examination. From that session onwards, places are won by examination rather than by nomination.
In May 2024 the entrance examination fees of fifty-one primary six pupils were paid. The NECO entrance examination is the qualifying examination into the Federal Government Colleges, the Unity Schools, and the schools for gifted children.
The stated purpose was twofold: to raise awareness of the Unity Schools among parents in Enugu State, and to increase the number of Enugu children in them. Unity Schools offer wider exposure and a stronger education than many private schools charging far higher fees, and a commitment was given to sponsor successful pupils through.
The pupils were drawn from Ugwuaji, Akwuke, Asata, Coal Camp and Amechi.
Coal Camp Primary School was established in 1926 by the colonial administration and holds a particular place in the history of education in Enugu. After nearly a century its infrastructure had fallen into severe disrepair. The old classroom block had become dangerously dilapidated, with visible structural defects that put pupils and teachers at risk. Parents had begun withdrawing their children for fear the building would come down.
Following appeals from the Coal Camp community the unsafe structure was demolished and a new block of six classrooms built in its place. The project was completed and commissioned on 14 February 2025, with the classrooms fully furnished and ready for use.
The intervention rescued a historic institution from decay, restored the dignity of one of the oldest primary schools in present-day Enugu urban, and brought parents back.
Given the state of what currently passes for a science laboratory in many public schools, smart mobile laboratory units were procured and installed. The unit is foldable, expandable and movable between classrooms for practical sessions, and it contains all two hundred basic and major experiments of the Nigerian secondary school science curriculum.
Each unit is divided into four compartments: a general science compartment, a physics compartment, a chemistry compartment and a biology compartment. Three pilot secondary school laboratories were renovated to receive them.
Students of the twenty-eight public secondary schools of the constituency may apply to sit the next scholarship examination.
