Foundation empowers 3 in Ogun

....Donates N. 1M to Celestial Church of Christ 

Two business men and a woman have been empowered by the Senator Buruji Kashamu-inspired Omoilu Foundation with a sum of N100,000 (One Hundred Thousand Naira) each in Ogun State.

The coordinator of the Foundation in Ogun State, Mr. Leke Shittu, said the gesture was aimed at helping people become business owners.

He said that the beneficiaries would, in addition to the cash given to them, be trained on how to be successful in their business and would be closely monitored, hoping that they would emerge as successful business people   in the near future.

"In our organisation, we don't just assist people with start-up capital for their business, we also put them through the rudiment of the business. One thing is to get the cash for a business another thing is to know the in-and out of the business.

"We are glad that over 5,000 petty traders that benefitted from the first phase of our interest free loan scheme across the State are doing very well and by the special grace of God we shall kick-start  the second phase of the loan scheme soon," Shittu said.

Speaking further, Shittu said the objective behind the interest free loan scheme and the ongoing empowerment programme across the State is to ensure that people with bright business ideas, have the  opportunity to turn these ideas into reality, which will in turn reduce unemployment in the State.


The beneficiaries are Mr. Samuel Olayinka Soneye, Mrs. Adebambo Adebimpe and Mr. Giwa Adedeji 

In a similar vein, the Foundation donated a sum of N100,00 to Celestial Church of Christ Idera parish in Sagamu Local Government Area as part of its contribution to the renovation of the Church.

Receiving a cheque of N100,000 on behalf of the Church, Shepard Wahab Emmanuel, thanked the founder of the Foundation, Senator Kashamu for the donation.
