Egbin Power Drives SDG 4 With 9th Scholarship Awards

LAGOS – Egbin Power continues its unwavering com­mitment to promoting academic excellence and sustainable development through its annual scholarship programme. In its 9th edition, the initia­tive welcomed a new cohort of beneficiaries, reinforcing the company’s dedication to supporting the educational as­pirations of children in its host communities. The Awards underscore Eg­bin Power’s mission of foster­ing the growth of future leaders, thinkers, and innovators.

The scholarship programme, which aligns with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4), provides access to in­clusive, equitable, and quality education, thereby contributing to learning opportunities for children and youth. Mokhtar Bounour, Chief Ex­ecutive Officer of Egbin Power, emphasised the impact of the scholarship over the years, noting that it has empowered students to achieve academic excellence and build the confi­dence necessary to unlock their full potential. “Education is not a privi­lege, it is a fundamental right that every child deserves,” said Bounour.



“We recognize the piv­otal role parents, guardians, and teachers play in nurturing these young minds. Their steadfast support and guidance form the foundation of the children’s suc­cess. At Egbin Power, we believe that education is a powerful tool for transformation.

Through initiatives like this, we aim to contribute to the long-term development of our communi­ties and nation. The success of these students is a testament to that commitment, and their achievements are our collective success.” Bounour further reiterated Egbin Power’s resolve to con­tinue investing in the future of Nigerian youth, stating, “In alignment with SDG 4, we will persist in fostering opportuni­ties for young people to thrive, because we know that the future of our nation depends on the next generation.

” This year, 14 students emerged as the latest beneficia­ries of the prestigious scholar­ship. The programme covers tuition, textbooks, uniforms, and provides each student with a high-quality tablet for access­ing e-textbooks. The students will be admit­ted into Powerfields Schools, an institution owned by Egbin Power that offers nursery, pri­mary, and secondary education within the secure environment of the power plant.
