Golden jubilee: My greatest achievement was my support for vulnerable -Adekeye
The Chief
Executive Officer (CEO) and the founder of the Whispering Hope Foundation (WHF) Mr Babatunde Adekeye has said his greatest achievement since he was born
over five decades ago was the impact he made to the poor and the vulnerable in
the society.
Mr Adekeye speaking on his achievements since when he
was born in January, 18 1972 explained that, the benefits of generosity are far
more important. "Even if you are giving out small amounts you will feel
happier for being able to impact lives especially the up coming generation.
According to him, “individuals that spend on someone
else are said to be happier than those that spend on themselves. People who
keep others in mind while making financial decisions feel less stress than
those who don't.”
He said through is Foundation, BAF, he was been able
to reach out to all the students in the two Secondary and Primary Schools in
Omupo; Omupo Anglican Grammar School, Omupo Muslim Model Secondary School, St
Michael Primary Schools and Omupo Muslim Primary School, Omupo in Ifelodun

had their libraries equipped with modern textbooks and the students in the
schools were also given free note books recently.

effectiveness of primary and secondary education by increasing its
collaboration with Non- Governmental Organizations.
Apart from those supports and assistance he was able
to rendered to the poor and the needy through his NGO ,he has assisted many
people personally from the blessing he received from God.

Governments to partner NGOs in order to extend education to underprivileged
children in the society and develop innovations that improve the quality of
education across the country.

populous continent with fastest growing economy. 'Despite this, more than half
of the countries live below the poverty line including Nigeria".

Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
