The mentorship programme was organised by Equity Bank.
The students are from Kaptembwa, Kwa Rhonda, Manyani, Bondeni and Karagita slums.
Mr Waititu urged the parents to monitor their children and give them moral support.
Some 195 students from slums in Nakuru County are the initial beneficiaries of the inaugural Elimu scholarships jointly sponsored by the government and the World Bank.
The students are part of the first batch of 9,000 students who will benefit from the scholarships that the government has launched in its bid to ensure 100 per cent transition to secondary school.
