That\u2019s why we were honored to be represented by <strong>Unique Bakare<\/strong> at the recent Access to Finance Forum, a powerful event focused on unlocking funding opportunities for the affordable non-state education sector in Nigeria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hosted by the <strong>SEED Care &amp; Support Foundation<\/strong> in collaboration with the <strong>PLANE Southwest Education Program<\/strong>, the forum brought together key players from across the education and finance sectors to address a critical question: <strong>How do we make education financing work for the underserved?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"810\" height=\"665\" src=\"https:\/\/presspay.ng\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/SEED-2.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-28920\" srcset=\"https:\/\/presspay.ng\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/SEED-2.jpeg 810w, https:\/\/presspay.ng\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/SEED-2-300x246.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/presspay.ng\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/SEED-2-768x631.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 810px) 100vw, 810px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">PressPayNg Channel Sales Lead, Unique Bakare<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As conversations unfolded, one truth became even more apparent \u2014 funding education is not a privilege; it\u2019s a necessity. Millions of Nigerian students face barriers to learning simply because of financial constraints. At PressPayNg, we\u2019re tackling that challenge head-on by providing EduLOANs, savings plans, scholarships, and more, all designed with students and parents in mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unique Bakare\u2019s participation reflects our continued drive to collaborate, innovate, and push for solutions that make a real difference in the lives of learners across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We extend our sincere gratitude to the organizers for hosting such a timely and impactful forum. Events like this remind us that real change happens when purpose-driven organizations come together. And we\u2019re proud to be part of that movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Together, we can accelerate access to education and create a future where every Nigerian child can learn without limits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our mission at PressPayNg has always been clear \u2014 to make education financing accessible, sustainable, and inclusive for every Nigerian<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":28919,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[48],"tags":[2470,2137,2469,2471,2468],"class_list":["post-28918","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-presspayng-tribe","tag-accesstofinance","tag-educationforall","tag-nigeriaeducationreform","tag-nonstateeducation","tag-presspayngimpact"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
