In 2008, the foundation was formed and named Ilaje Movement for Educational Improvement (IMEI), a non-governmental organisation which is not politically motivated to deal with the deteriorating condition of education in the Niger-Delta area particularly Ilaje Local Government, Ondo State and its environs. Considering the positive impact on the youth and the impressive performance recorded from 2008 till date as well as the extension of the programme beyond Ilaje Local Government, the name was changed in 2011 to MOSES IPENTAN EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION (MIEF) duly registered, in memory of my late father, for his passion for education. Although he did not have opportunity to be educated, he did everything within his power to give his children sound education.
The founder of the Foundation, Felix Mobolorunduro Ipentan realizes that success is not how much wealth a person acquires but how much he has used the God-given talents in him or her to elevate others. The foundation discovered that the people of the Niger-Delta are naturally intelligent and brilliant but require a more pragmatic approach to education to bring out the latent potentials of intelligence and brilliance in them. It is a burning desire of the Foundation to transform the lives of Niger Delta people by adding value to the educational system in complementing government developmental efforts.
