Explaining her decision on Instagram, Dikeh said she felt strongly that the boy was chosen for greatness and decided to take responsibility for his education from JSS1 up to university.

“As we prayed with the students and listened to their struggles, God directed my attention to a young boy. In my spirit I heard, ‘I have chosen him for signs and wonders.’ Immediately, I aligned myself with what God had spoken over his life,” she wrote.

On Monday, Tonto Dikeh returned to the school with her team to fulfil her promises by paying his school fees. She also provided him with school bags, sandals and other items.

She then turned her attention to his father, a widower raising three children alone, and supported him with ₦1,000,000 to start a small business so he could provide for his family with dignity.

Beyond the boy and his father, she also extended help to other students in the school and announced that she had ordered ten laptops to boost digital learning for the entire school community.

“While speaking with his father, I felt led to do more. I helped him start a small business he had always hoped to venture into with the sum of ₦1,000,000, so he can provide for his family with dignity and stability,” she added.
