Egbin Power Plc, Nigeria’s largest power generation company, has reaffirmed its commitment to education and community development by celebrating the 10th edition of the Egbin Power Scholarship Awards.

The ceremony, held at the Egbin Power Clubhouse, brought together community leaders, parents, teachers, and the company’s management team to recognize and reward academic excellence among students from its host communities.

In his remarks, Egbin Power’s CEO, Mokhtar Bounour, highlighted the company’s decade-long commitment to education and community development.

“The Egbin Power Scholarship has transformed the lives of children in our host communities by easing the financial burden on parents and providing opportunities for students to pursue quality education.

By investing in these young scholars, we are empowering their future and strengthening the foundation for sustainable growth in our communities and Nigeria at large.”

Beyond financial support, the program includes mentorship and a scholarship bootcamp designed to equip beneficiaries with life skills, discipline, and confidence to excel in their educational journey.

Parents and beneficiaries alike expressed gratitude to Egbin Power for sustaining the initiative over the years. “This scholarship has lifted a huge burden off many families,” said Mrs. Ebuzome Ekene, a parent of one of the beneficiaries. “It gives our children the confidence to aim higher, knowing that their community and Egbin stand solidly behind them.”

Kareem Opeyemi, a student beneficiary, added, “This award motivates me to study harder, focus on improving myself, and sustaining the scholarship so as to become a future leader who will make my community proud.”
