As Nigeria marks Children’s Day 2025, Senator Neda Imasuen of Edo South Senatorial District has extended heartfelt felicitations to children across Edo South, Edo State, and the nation at large, describing them as “the hope and promise of a brighter future”.
In a statement released on Tuesday, Senator Imasuen called on parents, guardians, and educators to remain unwavering in their dedication to nurturing the next generation. “Our children are the leaders of tomorrow. Their God-given potentials must be guided with love, discipline, and the right values,” he said.
Highlighting his ongoing commitment to child development, particularly in the area of education, Senator Imasuen detailed several initiatives aimed at improving access to quality learning opportunities at every level.
At the heart of his educational agenda is an annual scholarship scheme that currently supports 420 students from Edo South in tertiary institutions. The programme aims to break financial barriers and empower academically talented youths to reach their full potential.
In addition, the Senator has continued to fund the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) registration fees for students in his constituency, enabling hundreds to take a vital step towards university education without financial hindrance.
Senator Imasuen’s commitment extends to the secondary level, where he has awarded full scholarships to outstanding students, covering the entirety of their schooling. He also underscored the importance of foundational education, noting his distribution of writing materials to at least 21 primary schools across the senatorial district—an initiative he promises will be sustained annually.
“Investing in our children is investing in the future of Edo South and Nigeria,” Senator Imasuen stated. “It is our collective responsibility to raise well-educated, morally upright, and confident children who will shape the destiny of our great nation.”
The Senator reaffirmed his dedication to policies and programmes that promote the welfare and education of children, encouraging every stakeholder to play their part in securing a brighter tomorrow for all Nigerian children.
