Nigerian singer, Timi Dakolo, has announced plans to assist parents struggling to pay their children’s school fees as the 2025/2026 academic session kicks off.

Taking to 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 award-winning artist instructed parents and guardians to send their children’s school bills via Instagram to #TheOyindaOlu, assuring them that proof of payment would be shared.

 “Just DM the school bill to

@TheOyindaOlu

on IG.

We would DM you the receipt of what we sent to the school,” Dakolo added.

The announcement has sparked wide reactions online, with many fans commending his gesture at a time when households are grappling with rising costs.

As PUNCH earlier reported, the return to school this September has been accompanied by complaints from parents over skyrocketing expenses, from tuition and levies to uniforms and textbooks. For many families, the joy of seeing children resume classes has been dampened by financial strain.

Dakolo, celebrated for his soulful, family-themed songs and advocacy for social welfare, has consistently used his platform to spotlight education and community challenges. His latest move aligns with a growing trend of Nigerian celebrities stepping in to provide direct relief to fans in need.
