As part of its contribution to the development of girl child education, the Neo Black Movement (NBM) of Africa says it will on 11th of May, 2021 hold its first annual scholarship offers, where it will award fifty(50) Joint Admission Matriculation Board -JAMB FORMS/E-PIN to female students in Mile 2 Sub Zone of Apapa Zone, catchment area.
The group also says its Mile 2 Sub Zone of Apapa Zone, is offering financial assistance to deserving high school female seniors in celebration of their academic excellence and contributions to their school and community, adding that this offer is to encourage the “GIRL CHILD” (female students) around the Amuwo-Odofin and its environs.
“Our movement’s vision of academic excellence and social achievement has resulted in an organization which encompasses the ideals of scholarship, social justice, and equality for all. The nine founders, whom we respectfully call the “Founding Fathers,” aspired to create a movement dedicated to social purpose and social action. Currently, NBM continues to grow and promote these ideals through its nationally and internationally mandated programs”, Neo Black Movement of Africa said in a statement.
The organisers of this scholarship award say the organisation was formed, against the backdrop of the Independence movement in Africa, the Apartheid regime in South Africa, and the Civil Rights movement in the United States, by a group of 9 students of the University of Benin, Nigeria in 1977.
They revealed that the organisation’s concepts for community advancement and academic excellence have created 89 zones throughout Africa, the Americas, United Kingdom, European Union, Asia, and the Middle East.
