Similarly, a retired apex nurse and one of the top female political amazon in the LCDA, Mrs Stella Odudolapo Odufisan, in her remarks, revealed to discerning minds that Ojo Ibukun Foundation wasn’t a humanitarian outfit established in such a way that the Convener, Hon Shamsideen Adeniyi, would spend the funds on frivolities as she is a signatory to the accounts. She pleaded with Nigerians, particularly women, to rather than spend on vain desires, help struggling families and the less privileged in their neighbourhood with their education needs.
The curtain of the event was drawn with the presentation of study materials to the indigent adopted students. Items such as school bags, school uniforms, stationeries, school sandals and many more at the cost of NGN7.0000 were distributed to the delight of the beneficiaries and their parents/guardians. The birthday was however cut amidst cheers and applause from the gathering.
