Edo State lawmaker and music icon 2Baba’s new partner, Natasha Osawaru, has unveiled a major educational support initiative aimed at students in the state. She announced the distribution of 150 free UTME registration forms, available on a first-come, first-served basis, to support young Nigerians aspiring to gain admission into tertiary institutions.
In a viral video that has been making rounds on social media, Natasha emphasized her commitment to education by pledging full university scholarships to the top five students who achieve the highest scores in the UTME examination. This gesture, she noted, is part of her dedication to fostering academic excellence and ensuring that financial constraints do not hinder bright students from pursuing higher education.
She stated, “The time has come again to push education to another level. As a politician, I am offering 150 UTME registration forms for Edo State students on a first-come, first-served basis. The five most outstanding students with the highest scores will receive full sponsorship for their university education.”
This initiative has been widely praised by students and parents alike, as the high cost of UTME registration often poses a challenge for many families. By covering these costs and providing scholarships, Natasha aims to encourage academic excellence and ease the burden on parents struggling to fund their children’s education.
Her announcement comes at a time when her relationship with 2Baba has been making headlines. The news follows shortly after the legendary singer publicly confirmed his intention to marry her. In a widely circulated video, 2Baba was seen proposing to the lawmaker, an event that has been reported by Tribune Online and other media platforms.
With this initiative, Natasha joins a growing list of public figures using their influence to support education in Nigeria. Many have commended her efforts, highlighting the importance of such programs in a country where millions of students face barriers to higher education. Her commitment to empowering young minds could have a lasting impact on the future of many students in Edo State.
