Nigerian music superstar, Davido (David Adeleke), has announced that he will be donating the sum of N250 million raised from fans, friends and colleagues, to orphanages in Nigeria, on his 29th birthday.
The “Fem” crooner revealed that the birthday donations raised just over N200 million and he will be adding N50 million of his own money as donations to orphanages across Nigeria.
He also launched a committee to oversee the disbursement of the funds to beneficiaries. The 5-member panel includes: Mrs Titi Adebayo as Chairman; Prof Jonathan Nwose, Secretaray; Prof Yahana Joeal Asabae; Pastor (Dr) Oyalabu of Spring Time Development Foundation; and Professor Uloma Unoha.
The multi-award-winning artiste also stated that the committee will compile a list of orphanages across Nigeria and will determine the number of children and their needs at each orphanage, and divide the funds accordingly.
He stated that his goal is to do this fundraising every year in celebration of his birthday.
