Why givers never lack: The revelation of the philanthropic acts of Dr. Leye Olagbaju
The State of Osun has been naturally blessed with a progressively inclined philanthropist.
The dust of last week Ileya is yet to settle as the “MKO” of Osun, Raji Kehinde, CEO, Aaraj Construction Company doled out a huge sum of money to douse the economic tension amongst youths across all political divides in the State. Not to talk of over N50m he gave to empower his Ìsàl¹Ì ÌÌcun Constituents to alleviate their suffering.
Another philanthropist has emerged from the source of Yoruba Modern Civilization.
Leye Olagbaju Foundation (LOF) started many years back, because of growing concern for humanity and well being of the people, in which majority of the citizens are in the state of persistent impoverishment, sadly enough none of the men of money and influence were interested in helping these population of citizens.
Dr. Leye Olagbaju started ‘The Leye Olagbaju Foundation’ to address this societal ill, the Ile-Ife chapter of the Foundation was opened in 2019, and has thus far evidently been enriching lives through different social and welfare works multiple times yearly, for example: distribution of medical eye glasses to eye defected patients at Ife City Hall in Ile-Ifè; Orphanage support; Provision of voter’s card registration technical setup and guides; and most recently is the Hospital visitation to Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospital Complex, Ilé-Ifè (General Hospital), some of the visited wards are Children wards, Post Natal ward & Neonatal ward on 15th of July, 2021. It featured packages ranging from toiletries like dettol disinfectant, bath soap, Washing soap, Food items and beverages among others with a recorded proof to show for it.
As the number of beneficiaries increase, so also is the good news and testimonials from these beneficiaries who cannot thank the Founder and the Foundation enough. So also the team members at the Foundation express their heartfelt gratitude to the Founder Dr. Leye Olagbaju for the involvement in the World and life changing activities.
Executive Chairman of Ife Central West Local Council Development Area, Olubisi Oladosu humbly represented by Hon. Vice Chairman in person of Honourable ‘Sayo Adesiyan at the Hospital visitation gave a resounding cheer-on and prayers in support of the good work by the Foundation, as well as the Hospital patients’ benefactor.
