COFI Scholarship Celebrates 10 Years of Transforming Lives
On February 19th, 2026, Chris Oyakhilome Foundation International (COFI) marked a significant milestone, celebrating 10 years of the COFI Scholarship Initiative with a global press conference at Waterfalls Event Center in Lagos, Nigeria.
In her address, Pastor Ifeoma Chiemeka, Director of the COFI Scholarship, emphasised that the initiative was established as a structured response to eliminate financial barriers and position education as a catalyst for sustainable transformation. She stated, "Education is not charity, education is strategic empowerment."
A Decade of Impact
Over the past decade, the initiative has:
- Secured education for countless students across multiple nations
- Repositioned life trajectories through academic opportunity
- Strengthened families through educational stability
- Built a growing network of emerging leaders equipped for national and global relevance
What Comes Next
This milestone represents not a conclusion, but an acceleration point. COFI remains committed to expanding scholarship access to more underserved communities and deepening structured educational support systems across Africa and beyond.
