The Chairman of FBN Holdings Plc, Femi Otedola, has donated N5 million to the family of Sodiq Olayode, who recently welcomed quadruplets.
Otedola donated the funds alongside scholarships for two children’s education to the university level through his foundation, Femi Otedola Foundation.
Philip Akinola, on behalf of the billionaire businessman, presented the cheque of N5 million to the family on Monday, August 12, 2024.
The donation was announced by an X user, @jamysax, on the microblogging platform.
He wrote: “Guys, guess what? Femi Otedola sent representatives to offer a Cheque of 5 Million naira to the parents of the quadruplets and also he offered scholarship for the education of 2 of their kids till university.
“I’m in tears guys 😭😭”
The Olayode family’s story became a social media sensation after a colleague, Oyeniran James, shared the family’s predicament on X in July.
James revealed how Olayode lamented that the quadruplets used 105 diapers in six days.
The couple, who initially expected a single child, were surprised by the arrival of quadruplets – two boys and two girls.
Telecommunication company Airtel Nigeria later gifted the family the sum of N2 million.
It was further gathered that about N19 million had been donated to the family.
