About Us

GOA Education Foundation

The Senator Godswill Akpabio Education Foundation is a non-profit initiative committed to supporting deserving students in tertiary institutions through scholarships, mentorship, and educational development programs.

Founded by Senator (Dr) Godswill Obot Akpabio and Dr. (Mrs.) Unoma Akpabio, the foundation was established to give young Nigerians the opportunity to pursue their dreams without financial barriers.

Since its inception, the foundation has empowered numerous students across Nigeria, helping them excel academically and build successful careers. It also supports broader educational initiatives such as skill-building workshops, institutional assistance, and mentorship programs that promote excellence and leadership among youth.

Anchored on the values of integrity, compassion, and service, the foundation remains dedicated to shaping a brighter future by investing in education — one student at a time.

We strive to be committed to the students we are privileged to serve, in our alumni association, our dedicated, talented faculty and staff. We also take pride in having the most active and helpful group of partners, visionary parents, well-wishers, alumni and friends.

Empowering our youth is not a gift; it is our duty. When we equip them to lead, we secure the future of our nation.

Sen. (Dr) Godswill Akpabio — Founder, GOAEF
