The altruistic act is borne out of the passion to reduce the current high number of out-of-school children in Nigeria estimated at 13.5 million by UNICEF, and to combat the menace of illiteracy in Nigeria. The foundation have it as part of their 2019 goals to send 50 thousand out of school children back to school and provide over 200 scholarships to those willing to acquire higher education.

“We recognise it is a big task to provide quality education for every Nigerian due to the limited allocation towards education, as such public school students and schools lack access to essential educational resources. We are optimistic that this programme will help to bridge knowledge inequality by providing undeserving students; as well as public schools access to learning resources that aid academic excellence and enable teachers to discharge their obligatory duties seamlessly,” Alhaji Musa Halilu Ahmed said in a statement delivered during the course of the ceremony .

Musa Halilu Ahmed foundation is also calling on well-meaning Nigerians home and abroad to contribute their quota towards nation building and investing in the education of the future leaders of Nigeria. Investment in education equips children with knowledge and confidence, with which they will grow up to live responsible and productive lives.
