Priscilla said:
"In 2015, Dr Omotola Jalade Ekeinde visited my school, Government Secondary School, Lugbe-Abuja, and generously paid the WAEC fees for some students. At that time, I had not yet paid my WAEC fee, and I was uncertain about my future because my guardian was unable to assist me financially."
Priscilla said she had heard what the actress was doing for others, and she decided to follow her to the principal's office, where she tabled her case.

Her words:
"However, when I heard about your kind gesture, I gathered the courage to follow you into the principal’s office and explain my situation. To my surprise and joy, my name was taken down, and thanks to you, I was able to write both my WAEC and NECO exams. Words cannot fully express how much this meant to me. Your generosity gave me an opportunity I thought I had lost, and it shaped my path moving forward. I have carried this gratitude in my heart ever since, and I want you to know that your act of kindness made a lasting impact on my life."
