Nigerian billionaire Femi Otetedola’s foundation (FOF) has given N5 million to the family of Sodiq Olayode, who just welcomed quadruplets.
This enormous contribution follows an outpouring of support from Nigerians, who contributed more than N19 million through online donations.
The Olayode family’s story touched many people after a coworker, Oyeniran James, exposed their troubles on social media.
James, known as @jamysax on X (previously Twitter), revealed that the quadruplets used 105 diapers in less than a week, sparking worldwide sympathy and resulting in a rush of contributions.
The Femi Otedola Foundation, which is recognised for its charity endeavours, presented the Olayode family with a cheque of N5 million on Monday.
Philip Akinola presented the cheque on behalf of the charity. Additionally, Femi Otedola has committed to providing scholarships for the university education of two of the Olayode children.
James took to X (Twitter) to share the news, he wrote:
“Guyssssssssssssssssss, Guess what???? ‘#realFemiOtedola sent representatives to offer a cheque of N5 million to the parents of the quadruplets and also offered scholarships for the education of two of their kids till university. I’m in tears, guys.’”
This generous donation follows a contribution of N2 million from Airtel Nigeria.
