Help Lanre finish a teaching qualification at the Bonny Institute of Technology - $750 to go
A first-generation student, Lanre needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a teaching qualification.
🇳🇬 Bonny, Rivers, Nigeria348 views
Lanre is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a teaching qualification at the Bonny Institute of Technology, and is one semester away from graduating. He has worked as a shop assistant to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $750.
The registrar has said Lanre can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Lanre has a top-ten-percent average, and an academic advisor has written in support.
Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Lanre would lose his place and scholarship eligibility.
Lanre isn't asking for a handout - He wants to finish what He started and help the next student.
Everything raised goes to the university's accounts office toward the outstanding balance and the final term's fees.
Where the $750 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $400
• Final term tuition: $300
• Exam and lab fees: $35
• Textbooks and materials: $15
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Wishing you the best. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Abuja.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Lanre
It's all in the list in the story. outstanding tuition balance is the big one at $400, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Good question.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Bonny.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Quezon City donated after I showed her your page!
stay strong, Idowu. I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Bonny.
Take care, Idowu. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. All the best
Keep going. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Bonny.
thinking of you, Idowu. Your post was clear and honest
You're not alone, Idowu. Your post was clear and honest. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Sending strength, Idowu. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Stay strong. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Cairo this morning. God bless.
