About OPM Foundation
The Omega Power Ministry (OPM) Foundation was established by Apostle Dr. Chibuzor Chinyere Gift (General Overseer). It is a charitable foundation helping less privileged children (majorly in Nigeria) attain the best education to have a fulfilling career.
The foundation, located in Port Harcourt, has so far helped thousands of students through scholarship opportunities within and outside Nigeria.
