Review that in November 2019, Otedola stood out as truly newsworthy when he gave a challenging, N5 billion to Save the Children establishment, the most elevated gift at any point made by a person to philanthropy in Nigeria.
Otedola who went to the occasion in organization of his girl, DJ Cuppy, committed the honor to the a large number of kids in the regions of contention who have no nourishment to eat or ensured a future.
I couldn't want anything more than to commit this honor to the a large number of kids out there who are in the regions of contention, who have no nourishment to eat, who are not ensured of things to come. I petition God Almighty that he would carry aid to these kids and I need to likewise express a couple of things about the N5 billion I provided for Save the Children for the offspring of the North East.
At the point when I sold one of my organizations, my dominant part shareholding in Forte oil, I woke up one day and I said to myself I am 57 years of age and for me, the age for the flight relax from this world is 85 so I presently said I have just 28 years left. Out of the 28 years, obviously I rest 10 hours every day, so I said no doubt if God licenses me like our dad Chief Adebanjo, I would have 12 years wakeful. I said Okay and afterward called my CFO, she said Sir, you have sold the business, one of the arms of the business, in 5 months you have N5 billion intrigue. I said alright, we will offer it to philanthropy.
She took a gander at me Sir and resembled what did you say? I currently had a gathering with my family. I think one about my kids said to me 'Father you are giving out our legacy''. I said I have given a valiant effort for you kids, giving you the best training, so you go run with that.
