THE OOG foundation was founded in 2011 with the specific purpose of providing financial assistance to brilliant but financially deprived undergraduate students in Nigeria. Since inception the foundation has sponsored several students to graduation and continues to sponsor and mentor others.
o Educational sponsorship; This entails the award of educational stipends on an annual basis to qualified applicants.
o Mentoring; We look to mentor undergraduate students to prep them for the ascension into the work force or into starting their own business, the key objective is to help them ease their transition into what could be an unknown and sometimes intimidating workforce/business world. The mentorships are encouraged to cover business plan development / scrutiny, career guidance and counselling, working environment orientation and awareness.
o Entrepreneurship; The unemployment rate in Nigeria means the odds are stacked against most graduating university students, through this entrepreneurship program we encourage our educational scholarship beneficiaries to develop a business plan for an entrepreneurial program they would be keen to go into upon graduation. The foundation through its network then helps them seek out grants to kick start the business.
