With a founding capital of 100 million Naira, the Nigerian Breweries-Felix Ohiwerei Education Trust Fund was established in 1994 with the goal of enabling sustained quality education through sector-specific organised intervention.
The Fund has presences at the basic, secondary, and university levels of education in each of Nigeria’s six geographical zones.
