Man offers scholarship to young boy he met on his construction site

A Nigerian man, Stephen Akintayo has warmed hearts with his kind act to a teenage boy he met on his construction site.

Akintayo, in a post via LinkedIn, said he had visited the site for his Jasper estate project to see how construction work was going and came across the little lad.

According to him, when he heard that the boy – of secondary school age – was out of school and was learning carpentry under the tutelage of one of the workers on the construction site it angered him.

Akintayo gave the boy N10,000 on the spot and offered him a scholarship.

In his words;

“I got to Jasper Estate to Supervice the 1Bedroom, 2bedroom, 3Bedroom and 5Bedroom work going on. While moving round the property I noticed a teenager in the temporary office for workers. Who is the father of this child and why is he not in school; I asked.

“His father is dead and his mother sent him to learn capentary work with Me said one of the labourers who is a direct employeer of the Contractor we awarded some of the project to.

“I was full of rage in Me, To My recollection secondary school is suppose to be free in Ogun State where they claim to come from. No parent can claim lack of money is why a teenager should be sent to carpentry work instead of being in school.

“I gave the Boy 10,000naira to go home and I he should come with his Mother to pick up cheque for his schooling on Saturday during the first batch of the Stephen Akintayo 2021 Bursary…”
