In supporting the government during this difficult situation to reduce the negative impact of fuel subsidy removal, a group, Eniaponle Foundation has given out the sum of N200,000 to assist the teachers and staff of Obokun High School Ilesa today Wednesday during an event held at the school’s premises.
Deacon Ashaolu Michael Adeboye, Chartered Estate Surveyors and Valuers who owns the Eniaponle foundation in his chat with newsmen said his plan is to extend the support scheme to the entire Osun State but he decided to start from his alma mata.
“We decided to come up with a compensation mechanism that could be used to mitigate the impact of fuel subsidy removal on weak and vulnerable segments of Nigerian society”.
“Part of the principal and objectives of Eniaponle Foundation is to support the government and give hope to the needy and according to the saying that charity begins at home, we decided to begin the scheme from my alma mata and later extend it to other parts of Osun State”, said Adeboye.
Meanwhile, commendations have begun to trail the generosity of spirit of the foundation according to comments being posted on the social media handle of the foundation as Zacchaeus Adeyeye wrote: “This Man should be praised for giving out this to the needy especially in a time like this when the Economy is biting hard on the people. Adeboye has been doing this for a long including the presentation of artificial arms/legs to the Physically Challenged. Remember he has not held any political Post. He’s doing well more than those we had given our Mandate or held political post before. Omo Iya Alakara More Grace. God Bless u the more”.
Also, another person, Oluwaseun Ayomi David wrote: “I have watched him over the years love & cared for his ILESHA people. At times I wonder how he loved his people this much. Is it the empowerment of a thing, even when a phone & SIM card was still expensive he will buy recharge cards just to empower his people. I remembered once asking him, why do you love your ILESHA people? He just smiles. Is it those years he took Indian guys to ILESHA for artificial arms and legs free of charge”.
