Edo State Government has approved full educational scholarships for three children of late Brigadier General Oseni Omoh Braimah, an indigene of the state who died in active service to the nation.
In a statement signed by the Chief Press Secretary to Gov. Monday Okpebholo, Dr. Patrick Ebojele, the approval ensures that the education of the children of the slain Brigadier General will be fully funded from their current levels through to university.
The decision underscores the administration’s commitment to honoring the sacrifice of fallen military personnel and supporting the families they leave behind.
The beneficiaries are Farida Hussain-Braimah, a 100-level Software Engineering student at Nile University, Abuja; Amir Hussain-Braimah, currently in SS3 at Olumawu Senior School, Abuja; and Yasmeen Hussain-Braimah, a JSS2 pupil at Olumawu Junior Secondary School, Abuja.
Governor Okpebholo, while speaking on the gesture, described it as both a moral obligation and a demonstration of responsible governance.
He noted that Brigadier General Braimah’s death represents a profound sacrifice in the service of Nigeria.
He reaffirmed the state government’s resolve to support the children throughout their academic journey, positioning them for stable and meaningful futures.
Gov. Okpebholo had earlier described the late officer as a symbol of discipline, courage, and patriotism.
According to the governor, the scholarship initiative aligns with the education pillar of his administration’s SHINE Agenda, which places emphasis on human capital development, social welfare, and inclusive governance.
