"We can't just wait for the government to do everything. Communities and religious organizations, especially businesses, can help to make life easier for these students.
"Remember that in the next 20 years, a student who is 20 today will be 40. And so we must prepare them for a great tomorrow."
Speaking at the press briefing, Pastor Udenwa stated that about 15 students have benefitted from the initiative this year across several campuses.
