MR. EAZI STUDENTS FUND – A SCHOLARSHIP SCHEME FOR CKT-UTAS UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS

 

Mr.  Oluwatosin Ajibade, known in showbiz cycles as Mr. Eazi has instituted a scholarship scheme to support needy students at the C. K. Tedam University of Technology & Applied Sciences (CKT-UTAS).

The Award is expected to cover the full fees of 100 students each year. To do this, Mr.  Eazi has made available Two Hundred Thousand Ghana Cedis (GHS200,000.00) as the initial seed money to kick start the scheme. This philanthropic gesture comes in the wake of recent difficulties encountered by many students in the payment of their fees. The Deal was brokered by the Registrar of CKT-UTAS, Dr. V.A. Ankamah-Lomotey who is also a close Associate of Mr. Eazi.

Mr.  Ajibade is the CEO and founder of emPawa Africa group of companies that has a corporate presence in Nigeria, Ghana, Rwanda, Dubai, and London.

emPawa Africa has grown to become one of the biggest wholly African-owned entertainment companies on the continent, which leverages Mr. Ajibade’s vast experience and network to provide a gateway for upcoming and established acts across the world.

In addition, Mr. Ajibade performs under the name Mr. Eazi – a household name across Africa and growing in international prominence. He has performed numerous shows, including headlining the Ghana Music Festival and performing sold-out shows around the world. He is also a recipient of several prestigious international awards.

Prior to launching a huge career in showbiz, Mr. Ajibade enrolled at Coventry University in the UK where he studied and obtained a Master of Science in Engineering Business Management (M.Sc. Engineering Business Management) in 2015, having obtained a Bachelor of Science in Engineering from the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science & Technology, Kumasi, Ghana in 2011.   

How to Access the Fund

This financial support aims to assist needy students to pay for their Academic Facility User Fees (AFUF) and Other Charges.

It is the hope of Mr. Eazi and the University that beneficiaries of the Fund will be able to complete their studies despite their economically challenged background. The Scholarship covers the entire AFUF. Besides, there are other charges which add up to the total school fees. The scholarship is enough to cover this as well.
