Motailatu Church Cherubim and Seraphim Movement (MCCSW) has awarded complete scholarship to Tunde Olaniyan, the ND 2 student of Lagos State Polytechnic who attempted to take his life in May.

Olaniyan, who studied accountancy, had taken a poisonous substance after his N45, 000 tuition was stolen by pick-pockets on the eve of his final examinations.

He was rescued in hospital after he passed out under the influence of the poison in his Iyana Ipaja, Lagos residence.

The Supreme Head and Prelate of the church, Dr Israel Akinadewo, said the church decided to interview in Olaniyan’s case after he read the report of his near-death in the papers.

Akinadewo, who presented Olaniyan with his parents the scholarship offer, on Thursday said: “Tunde could have died. He could have lost him and it was all because he lost his tuition.

“Our church loves such determined people. We beseech him never to attempt to take his life again but trust God for His sustenance.”

General Evangelist of the church, Elder Prof Joseph Otubu, said the church will bankroll Olaniyan’s education to any level.

“No matter how far you want to go, we shall support you. We’d be by your side. You don’t have to worry about costs again,” he stressed.

Otubu, the vice president-elect of Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), said the church will never allow the ambition of people like Olaniyan to die.

He said the scholarship covers tuition, feeding, accommodation and everything else it will take Olaniyan to study to any level in life.

Olaniyan expressed gratitude to the church for the gesture. He said with the support, he would set the world ablaze with academic exploits.

He said his performances dived when he started working as a bus conductor last year.

His father, Amos Olaniyan, who has been on suspension for 21 years in the Police Force, said he was more than happy.

“I have indescribable joy. God has turned my sorrow to joy. He has intervened in my life,” he stated.
