Leo Stan Ekeh Foundation Partners with NCS for Tech Scholarships

The Leo Stan Ekeh Foundation (LSEF) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Nigeria Computer Society (NCS) to provide mentorship, technical training, and real-world technology experience to 100 Nigerian students under its technology scholarship initiative. This 1000 scholarship scheme, announced by Leo Stan Ekeh, Chairman of Zinox Group, aims to empower indigent but exceptionally gifted students to study Computer Science and related disciplines in federal and state universities and polytechnics across Nigeria.

Dr. George Emetuche, Director of LSEF, stated that the program will include boot camps each semester to enhance practical learning. The goal is to prepare beneficiaries to become capable technology professionals who can address real-world challenges.

NCS President, Professor Muhammed Siraju Aliyu, praised Ekeh as a nationalist committed to creating opportunities for Nigerians. Mrs. Chioma Nwoke, Executive Director of Human Resources at Zinox Group, affirmed the group's ongoing support for the initiative.
