Airtel Nigeria has donated a total of two million naira to the Olayode family,bpresenting a cheque of five hundred thousand naira to each of the family’s newly-born quadruplets, who had gained significant social media attention earlier in July. The presentation was held at the Olayode residence in Lagos on Wednesday, July 31, 2024.
This gesture follows the pledge by Airtel on its official X handle to join other well-meaning Nigerians to come to the aid of the young couple whose four babies had arrived as a complete surprise, having gone undetected in several prenatal scans. Airtel’s post read: “When life gives quadruplets, we give #ovajara support! We’re adding N2m because great things come in multiples.”
Speaking on the donation, Chief Executive Officer, Airtel Nigeria, Carl Cruz, said, “This gesture underscores the dedication of Airtel Nigeria to enriching lives and bringing joy to the communities we serve, especially through our CSR. We understand the economic demand of raising same-age children concurrently in one family, and it is our hope that this donation will serve as a meaningful helping hand to the Olayode family, while also inspiring other individuals and organizations to offer support wherever it may be needed.”
He expressed the company’s delight in supporting the family as part of its longstanding commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and providing support to the vulnerable in the Nigerian society.
