Renowned philanthropist Femi Otedola, through his charitable organization, the Femi Otedola Foundation (FOF), has provided significant support to the family of Sodiq and Abiodun Olayode, who recently welcomed quadruplets.
The foundation contributed N5 million to help the family manage the sudden expansion of their household.
The Olayode family’s story garnered extensive attention last month after a friend, James, posted a plea for financial assistance on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter). James’s post quickly gained traction, leading to a wave of donations from compassionate Nigerians, totaling over N14 million.
In a further display of support, the Femi Otedola Foundation presented a cheque of N5 million to the family on Monday. The cheque was handed over by Philip Akinola, a representative of the foundation.
Otedola, known for his consistent philanthropic efforts towards individuals in need and social causes, was inspired to act after learning about the family’s situation.
In addition to the financial assistance, Otedola has also pledged scholarships for the Olayode’s two older children, ensuring their education is secured despite the family’s increased financial burden.
Abiodun Olayode had expressed her hopes for additional support from the government, particularly from Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Remi Tinubu. She emphasized the importance of education for her children and her unexpected circumstances, stating, “I planned for one, but here we are having four. The First Lady, I hope you are seeing this. Please come to my aid.”
