There is good progress is made in the local colleges. IZF continue to allocate more funds to directly sponsor students locally in both public and accredited private universities. Over 500 have obtained degrees locally and over a thousand more have managed to get certificates and diplomas in different fields under IZF support.
In 2021 academic year, there are 1092 sponsored students, of which 533 are Male and 559 Female. We are expecting 393 students to complete their studies by end of 2022.
We are thrilled to announce that in the 2024/2025 academic year, our organization is sponsoring 500 students in secondary schools across the country. this program has consistently demonstrated its value in previous years, producing a significant number of students who have gone on to secure admission to public universities
