According to Olusegun Akintade, vice chairman of the foundation, the grant is part of the foundation’s ongoing empowerment drive and commitment to uplifting underserved communities. “We were not a political group yesterday, we are not today, and we will not be tomorrow,” Akintade emphasised.

The Chairman of Ondo North Local Council Development Area, Onidare Bunkunmi, commended the foundation for the initiative, describing the grant as impactful. “What Agboluaje Kajola Foundation is doing is fantastic. I was surprised by the size and reach of the support. It is commendable and worthy of emulation,” Bunkunmi said.
