Empowering Dreams: LP Aspirant, Hon. Olowu Sunday Awards Full Scholarships to UNIOSUN Students
Osogbo, June 18, 2025, It was a moment of joy and celebration earlier today at the Multipurpose Hall of Osun State University (UNIOSUN), Main Campus, Osogbo, as Hon. (Engr) Olowu Sunday, an aspirant for the House of Representatives under the Labour Party, awarded full scholarships to students from Oriade Local Government.
The scholarship presentation was held in the presence of the Engr. Sunday Olowu Support Group, staff, students, and well-wishers. The atmosphere was charged with excitement and gratitude as beneficiaries, their families, and fellow students gathered to witness the generous gesture.
Engr. Olowu, who also serves as the Osun State Coordinator of the Obedient Movement, said the scholarship is part of his commitment to investing in the education of young people, particularly those from underrepresented areas.
“This is just the beginning,” his supporters were quoted as saying. “We believe in empowering our youths through education, and we’ll keep doing more.”
Representatives of UNIOSUN’s management were also present at the event and expressed their heartfelt appreciation. Speaking on behalf of the university, a top official commended Engr. Olowu’s philanthropic act, describing it as timely and impactful.
“The University sincerely thanks Engr. Sunday Olowu for this noble initiative,” the official said. “He is a true friend of education and the future of our youth, by investing in their future. We look forward to meeting him personally to express our gratitude whenever he cimes around.”
Students who received the scholarships could not hide their joy, many of them calling it a life-changing opportunity. Some shared their personal struggles, saying the scholarship has lifted a major burden off their shoulders.
Engr. Olowu is currently seeking to represent Obokun/Oriade Federal Constituency at the National Assembly, and many believe this act is a reflection of the kind of leadership he promises to bring.
The event ended with cheers, photographs, and a renewed hope for a better future, not just for the scholarship beneficiaries, but for the entire constituency.
