Oyebamiji, popularly known as AMBO, made the declaration on Sunday during a condolence visit to the family of the late Jemilat Ganiyu, who lost her life in the devastating storm that struck parts of the state last week.
The beneficiaries of the scholarship include Tijani Faruk, a JSS2 student; Tijani Mariam, an SS2 student; Tijani Fatimah, an SS3 student; and Tijani Haliah, a Primary 6 pupil.
In addition to the scholarship, Oyebamiji directed the immediate opening of a dedicated bank account for the children, through which he pledged to provide regular financial support for their education from primary school through university.
He expressed deep sorrow over the tragic incident, noting that death remains an inevitable reality, and extended his condolences to the bereaved family, praying for strength to bear the loss.
The family of the deceased commended the APC candidate for his gesture, offering prayers for his success in the forthcoming governorship election.
As part of his visit, Oyebamiji also visited victims injured during the rainstorm who are currently receiving treatment at the Osun State University Teaching Hospital. He donated funds to support patients and prayed for their speedy recovery.
He further directed his aides to obtain details of a critically ill patient whose parents appealed for assistance during the visit.
Oyebamiji was accompanied by several party leaders and stakeholders, including former and serving public officials, as well as local government representatives from Osogbo and Olorunda areas.
The gesture comes amid growing concerns over the impact of recent heavy rainfall in Osun State, which has led to loss of lives and property in affected communities.
