The D.K. Olumofin foundation serves to honor and foster the remarkable life and achievements of Chief Danieles Kubuwaje Olumofin and intends to have a positive impact on the lives of its benefactors through assistance in the realm of education.
By providing academic scholarships to eligible candidates we hope to alleviate the burden of the cost of education a student from a disadvantaged background might have otherwise incurred personally.
We also hope to provide a pathway for people that might have been excluded from academia due to being handicapped by fees that would have been otherwise exhorbitant to people from disadvantaged backgrounds.
