The House of Representatives candidate of the Zenith Labour Party (ZLP) for Ibarapa Central/North Federal Constituency, Hon. Gabriel Timileyin Micheal (GTMIKE), has offered Olanrele Tumininu Dasola a first-year university scholarship, covering her educational expenses.
The scholarship, according to Gabriel Timileyin, covers her acceptance fee, tuition fees, and feeding allowance throughout her first year at the University of Ibadan, where she recently gained admission to study Veterinary Medicine.
Tumininu, an alumnus of the Angels Heights College, Ayete, who emerged victorious in an essay and debate competition organised a few months ago by the Executive Chairman of Ibarapa North Local Government, Hon. Lateef Adebare Lawal, (Akorede), served as One-Day Chairman of the local government on October 15, 2026.
As part of his commitment to education and youth development, Gabriel announced the scholarship offer on Sunday, October 18, during a special engagement held at Brybos Hotel in Igboora, a gathering specially organized to celebrate Tumininu’s achievement and encourage her as she begins her university education.
Gabriel said the gesture was particularly special to him because he is also an alumnus of Angels Heights College, the same school Tumininu represented during the intellectual competition that earned her the position of One-Day Local Government Chairman.
He expressed pride in her achievements, noting her journey from representing Angels Heights College in the competition to becoming the first-ever One-Day Chairman in the history of the local government, and gaining admission to the premier University of Ibadan.
According to him, the sponsorship was intended to ease the financial burden associated with starting university education and enable Tumininu to concentrate on her academic pursuits without distractions.
Beyond the first-year sponsorship, Gabriel further announced that Tumininu had been added to his scholarship beneficiary list, joining other students across the constituency who have, according to him, benefited from the scheme over the years.
The gathering also provided an opportunity for attendees to offer mentorship, advice, and encouragement to the young student as she prepares for university life.
Among the personalities present at the gathering were Hon. Bosun Ibikunle, Asolo Daniel, Idris Adeseun (Icon), Olori Wuraola, and Adejesubisi Akintola Amos, among others.
