MTN Foundation Opens 2026 Scholarship Applications for STEM, Medical Students MTN Foundation has opened applications for its 2026 scholarship programs for students in public tertiary institutions across Nigeria.
The foundation said the application covers its Science and Technology Scholarship (STS), Scholarship for Blind Students (SBS), and a newly introduced scholarship category dedicated to medical students.
According to the foundation, medical students were previously included under its STEM scholarship category but have now been separated to provide more targeted support for students studying medicine in public universities and teaching hospitals. A total of 400 students, including 100 medical students, will receive annual scholarship grants worth N300,000 each to support tuition, textbooks, and living expenses.
Executive Director of the MTN Foundation, Odunayo Sanya, said the initiative reflects the organisation’s continued investment in education and youth development in Nigeria. She noted that the scholarship programme is designed to equip young Nigerians with the resources and opportunities needed to compete globally and contribute to national development.
Eligible applicants include 300-level students studying Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics courses in public tertiary institutions.
Medical students in 400 level at public universities and teaching hospitals are also eligible to apply, alongside blind students in 200-level and 300-level courses The foundation explained that the scholarship is renewable annually until graduation, provided beneficiaries maintain the required academic performance.
Beneficiaries under the Science and Technology Scholarship are expected to maintain a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3. 5, while recipients under the Scholarship for Blind Students are required to maintain a minimum CGPA of 2. 5.
In addition to financial support, beneficiaries will also have access to mentorship, technical training, and employability workshops through the foundation’s Skill Up initiative. Now in its 15th year, the MTN Foundation Scholarship Programme has supported thousands of students across Nigeria.
Applications close on May 31, and interested students can apply through MTN Nigeria Advertisement Alternative Bank Expands Financing Support for Local Pharmaceutical Manufacturers The Alternative Bank has announced plans to deepen partnerships with local pharmaceutical industries by extending backward risk-sharing capital to support local manufacturing, distribution, and healthcare supply chains in Nigeria.
The move comes amid growing concerns over Africa’s heavy dependence on imported pharmaceutical products. Despite carrying about a quarter of the global disease burden, Africa still imports nearly 97 percent of its pharmaceutical commodities, a challenge that became more visible during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Speaking in an interview with the Association of Industrial Pharmacists of Nigeria for the maiden edition of its Pharma Industry Digest, Group Executive at The Alternative Bank, Jekwu Ozoemene, stressed the need to strengthen local pharmaceutical production in Nigeria.
According to him, pharmaceutical and medicine security remain critical to Nigeria’s survival, noting that the bank is ready to collaborate with stakeholders across the healthcare value chain to support local production and reduce dependence on imports. Advertisement As a fully licensed non-interest bank, The Alternative Bank said it operates a patient capital model that deploys asset-backed and risk-sharing financing structures.
The financing approach is designed to align repayment schedules with the actual cash flow of businesses rather than imposing rigid loan conditions. The bank explained that the structure is aimed at helping pharmaceutical businesses grow sustainably while improving medicine availability and affordability across the country.
To drive this initiative, the bank has introduced several healthcare-focused financing solutions nationwide, including stock financing, vendor and distributor financing, supply chain financing, and revolving drug funds. According to the bank, these financing solutions are being expanded through partnerships with State Health Boards to improve access to quality and affordable drugs for Nigerians.
The initiative is also expected to support broader economic goals by reducing import dependence, strengthening local manufacturing capacity, creating jobs, and improving healthcare resilience in the country.

The commitment was reiterated during the 2nd Annual Interactive Session between the CBN Financial Regulation Advisory Council of Experts (FRACE) and the Advisory Committees of Experts (ACE) of Non-Interest Financial Institutions, held on May 7, 2026, at the CBN Auditorium.
Delivering a welcome address on behalf of the Deputy Governor, Financial System Stability, Philip Ikeazor, the Director of the Financial Policy and Regulation Department, Rita Ijeoma Sike, described the session as a strategic platform for deepening the credibility, resilience, and soundness of the non-interest financial services industry.
According to Ikeazor, the engagement builds on the foundation established during the inaugural session and reflects the apex bank’s commitment to sustaining a sound and resilient non-interest financial system anchored on strong governance, effective compliance, and prudent risk management.
Advertisement He noted that Non-Interest Financial Institutions continue to play an increasingly important role in Nigeria’s financial system by offering ethical and Shariah-compliant alternatives to conventional finance, while supporting financial inclusion, real sector financing, MSME development, and shared prosperity.
However, he warned that the growing size and sophistication of the industry also expose it to risks including non-compliance, governance challenges, operational vulnerabilities, and emerging technological threats. According to him, failure to properly manage these risks could weaken public confidence, threaten financial stability, and affect the credibility of the non-interest finance ecosystem.
In his remarks, the Deputy Chairman of FRACE, Bashir Aliyu Umar, stated that the interactive session was designed to strengthen governance within the sub-sector and encourage constructive engagement between the CBN FRACE and the Advisory Committees of Experts of Non-Interest Financial Institutions.
