Melody Fidel, a Nigerian international entrepreneur and missionary, has urged Nigerians and NGOs to rally behind CleverMinds School in Warri, Delta State, to expand its mission of providing free education to underprivileged children.
Fidel made this appeal during a recent visit to the school, where he encouraged students to adopt positive attitudes and remain focused on their studies to secure a brighter future.
“Education is the best legacy to give to any child,” Fidel emphasized. “I am here to support the wonderful initiative of the founder and teachers of this school who have been providing free education in order to equip our future leaders and citizenry with the necessary capacity for a better country.”
During his visit, Fidel donated food supplies and awarded scholarships to two students, Darlington Daniella and Darlington Iruoaboghene, who are currently in primary 5 and 3, respectively. His support will cover the remainder of their primary, secondary, and university education, offering them a chance to reach their full potential.
CleverMinds School, founded by Zion Oshiobugie as part of the CleverMinds Charity Foundation, is committed to delivering free education and welfare support to underserved children across Nigeria. Oshiobugie expressed gratitude for Fidel’s contributions, calling him “a young philanthropist the youth and indeed, all Nigerians should emulate.” He added, “We are very happy that you chose to visit CleverMinds and be an inspiration to these children in this critical time. Let me, on behalf of the management and staff of the school, assure you of our deepest appreciation and pledge to put your donations to judicious use.”
Fidel, founder of the Stability and Sustenance Business Summit, has coached over 10,000 youths in skills acquisition and monetization, and has provided business grants to over 100 young Nigerians in the past decade.
