The Ibrahim and Maryam Babangida Presidential Library is committed to promoting education and nurturing future
leaders who will drive positive change in Nigeria. In line with this commitment, we are proud to introduce the GEN-B
Scholarship Initiative, a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) project aimed at sponsoring one hundred students, and 5 entrepreneurs across the six geopolitical zones of Nigeria.
The primary objective of the GEN-B Scholarship Initiative is to provide financial support to talented and deserving students across Nigeria, enabling them to pursue higher education and develop the skills and knowledge necessary to become future leaders in their respective fields.
To sustain the continuity of the GEN-B Scholarship Initiative, recipients must maintain a Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of at least 90% for the previous semester or term. This requirement ensures that scholarship funds are allocated to individuals who are dedicated to academic excellence and are actively contributing to their educational pursuits.
