He said:
"The application for our Passport Intervention program opens tomorrow. In 2025, we are excited to support over 100 highly talented students across Africa in securing their passports—an essential document for scholarship applications and global opportunities. Over the past three years, we have supported more than 300 students, some of whom are now studying across different continents. Notably, Farida Zakariya, the first Nigerian to win the prestigious McCall MacBain Scholarship at McGill University, is one of the outstanding beneficiaries of this initiative.
"A special thanks to everyone who has supported this cause in the past. We will be reaching out again, and if you would like to support this initiative, I would be more than happy to connect with you."
