The Olayode family has received a donation of two million naira from Airtel Nigeria. The family’s freshly born quadruplets, who garnered considerable attention on social media earlier in July, each received a cheque for five hundred thousand naira. On Wednesday, July 31, 2024, the presentation took place at the Olayode mansion in Lagos.
BrandSpur telecom and IT news reports that this act of kindness comes after Airtel promised on its official X handle to join other kind-hearted Nigerians in supporting the young couple whose four infants arrived completely unexpectedly, having eluded multiple pregnancy examinations.
Airtel’s post said: “When life gives quadruplets, we give #ovajara support! We’re adding N2m because great things come in multiples.”
Carl Cruz, the CEO of Airtel Nigeria, commented on the donation: “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 inspiring other individuals and organizations to offer support wherever it may be needed.”
In keeping with its long-standing commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and helping the weak in Nigerian society, it emphasized the company’s joy in helping the family.
He 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.”
The Olayode quadruplets’ birth also perfectly captures the essence of the Airtel Ovajara campaign, which is predicated on the idea that life frequently surpasses expectations: “As a company, we are proud to demonstrate this understanding in both our services and our actions,” he added.
Continuing, after accepting the donation from Airtel on behalf of her spouse, Sodiq, and the entire family, Mrs. Abiodun Olayode sincerely thanked Airtel Nigeria for their assistance.
According to Mrs. Olayode: “I would like to appreciate Airtel Nigeria for this ovajara kindness. You have stood in for us in this memorable phase of our lives, and I can boldly say that this donation will definitely go a long way in raising our children.”
With its cutting-edge voice bundle, Airtel Ovajara, customer recharges are worth eight times more. In all of the places where it works, Airtel is steadfast in its commitment to uplifting and empowering people and families in need.
However, throuseveral of stand-alone programs and projects under its extensive CSR umbrella, such as Airtel Touching Lives, Employee Volunteer Scheme, Adopt A School, and its expansive Reimagine Education partnership with UNICEF, the telco has proven its dedication to improving the lives of Nigerians.
