Davido fulfils promise to share N250 million to orphanages

Popular artist, David Adeleke, also known as Davido, has finally fulfilled his promise of sharing N250m donated to him to some orphanages in Nigeria.

The artist had earlier set up a committee to disburse the N200m contributed by his fans and an additional N50m which was his personal donation to orphanages across Nigeria.

In an update late Tuesday evening, Davido said the disbursement of the funds was complete. According to him, so far, a total of N250,000,000 has been disbursed to 292 orphanages.

See Press Statement below:
As a follow-up to the press statement I released on 19th November 2021 where I announced my intention of donating the total sum of N200 million received from my friends and family, together with my personal donation of N50 million, to orphanages across Nigeria, I bring you an update.

As promised, a five-man disbursement committee was set up. Since its inauguration, the members of this committee have worked tirelessly to ensure that they collate the names and information of documented and verified orphanages. I am pleased to announce that the disbursement of funds is complete.
So far, a total of N250,000,000 has been disbursed to 292 orphanages.

As promised in my first statement, I have listed/attached the names and amounts disbursed to the various orphanages. In the pith of transparency, I thought it wise to give you my loyal supporters, fans, friends, and family an update in this regard.

I would like to say a big thank you to everyone that made this possible, the committee of high caliber and principled people who dedicated their time to ensure this task was expeditiously carried out, my wonderful family, friends, and well-wishers. Thank you for your continuous support and love.

Always remember, we rise by lifting others.

Signed, David Adeleke
