Nigerian singer Timi Dakolo has announced plans to support parents finding it difficult to pay their children’s school fees as the 2025/2026 academic session kicks off.
In a post on his official X handle on Wednesday, Dakolo acknowledged the financial strain many families face at the start of each term.
“I know it’s school fee season, it’s not always easy, I know this first-hand. So, let me help lessen that burden a little bit,” he wrote.
The artist urged parents and guardians to send their children’s school bills via Instagram to @TheOyindaOlu, assuring that receipts of payments made directly to schools would be shared as proof.
Dakolo’s gesture has sparked widespread praise online, with fans commending him for stepping in at a time when households are grappling with soaring educational expenses.
As schools reopen, many families are weighed down by rising costs — from tuition and levies to uniforms and textbooks — leaving the joy of children returning to class overshadowed by financial hardship.
Known for his family-centered songs and community-driven initiatives, Dakolo has consistently spoken out on issues affecting education and welfare. His latest move adds to a growing trend of celebrities providing direct financial support to fans in need.
