The Femi Otedola Foundation has donated N5m to the family of Sodiq Olayode who recently welcomed quadruplets.
This donation comes after an outpouring of support from Nigerians, who have raised over N19m for the family through online donations.
The Olayode family’s story gained attention on social media after a colleague Oyeniran James, shared the family’s struggles on X.com in July.
Tweeting as #jamysax, James revealed how Olayode lamented that the quadruplets used 105 diapers in six days.
This sparked a wave of generosity, with Nigerians donating millions to support the family.
The Femi Otedola Foundation, known for its philanthropic efforts, on Monday presented a cheque of N5m to the Olayode’s family.
The cheque was presented by Philip Akinola on behalf of the foundation.
Additionally, Otedola offered scholarships for the education of two of the children to university level.
Sharing the news on X.com on Monday night, James wrote, “Guyssssssssssssssssss, Guess what ????
“#realFemiOtedola sent representatives to offer a cheque of N5m to the parents of the quadruplets and also he offered scholarship for the education of two of their kids till university. I’m in tears, guys.”
This donation follows Airtel Nigeria’s contribution of N2m to the family.
The Olayodes, who initially expected a single child, were surprised by the arrival of quadruplets – two boys and two girls.
