Award-winning Nigerian singer Timi Dakolo has pledged to ease the burden of school fees for parents as the 2025/2026 academic year gets underway.
In a heartfelt message shared on his official X and Instagram pages on Wednesday, September 24, 2025, Dakolo acknowledged the pressure many families face whenever a new school term begins.
“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 singer encouraged parents and guardians to send their children’s school bills via Instagram to #TheOyindaOlu, assuring that receipts of direct payments to schools would be provided as proof of assistance.
“Just DM the school bill to @TheOyindaOlu on IG. We would DM you the receipt of what we sent to the school,” he added.
