About Opekete Foundation Florence Bamidele Makanjuola Undergraduate Scholarship

The Opekete Foundation is in memory of Late Mrs Florence Bamidele Makanjuola who built a career in teaching and nursing.

In the spirit of acting on her desire to see better teachers and nurses, Mrs Makanjuola set up the okpekete foundation with a few students being beneficiaries.
