In a remarkable show of commitment to student welfare, the Nigeria Students and Youth Association (NISAYA), Ondo State Chapter has partnered with the Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Student Affairs, Hon. Kelvin Solomon Olaolu (KSO), to launch the “Feed the Student” initiative; a bold step towards tackling food insecurity among underprivileged students across the state.
The initiative is targeted at providing regular meals to students in secondary and tertiary institutions who are grappling with financial difficulties. The goal is to ensure that hunger does not stand in the way of academic excellence or student well-being.
The NISAYA Ondo State Coordinator emphasized the program’s deeper value beyond just food:
"This initiative is about restoring dignity, ensuring inclusivity, and fueling the dreams of students through nourishment. It’s a strategic move to boost both morale and performance in the academic space.”
Hon. Kevin Solomon Olaolu (KSO), in his statement, described the program as a timely intervention and pledged full support:
"The future of Ondo State lies in the hands of our students. By feeding them, we are not just filling stomachs; we are nurturing potential, investing in the prosperity of our communities, and safeguarding the future of our dear state.”
He also made a clarion call to NGOs, philanthropic individuals, and corporate organizations to support and collaborate in scaling the program to all 18 local government areas of Ondo State.
With the “Feed the Student” program, Ondo State takes a powerful step in addressing student hunger and building a generation of healthier, more focused, and academically successful young leaders.
Together, we are feeding minds, fueling dreams, and shaping the future.
