Nigeria’s music superstar, David Adeleke, a.k.a Davido, has disbursed the sum of N250 million gift money to selected orphanages across the country in fulfillment of an earlier promise.
The singer stated this through his official Twitter account on Tuesday night. In giving the update and names of the beneficiaries, Davido stated: “I am pleased to announce that the disbursement is complete and so far, total of N250,000,000 has been disbursed to 292 orphanages. In the spirit of transparency I thought it wise to give to you my loyal supporters, fans friends and family an update in this regard,” he tweeted.
Davido thanked the committee he set up to actualize the project for a job well done, saying it is a “committee of high calibre and principled people” who dedicated their time to ensure the job was done.
Commending his fans, family and friends, Davido said we rise by lifting others. In November 2021, the singer asked his friends to gift him N1 million each ahead of his birthday and in response, he received N200 million in less than 48 hours. Davido who in turn decided to donate the money to orphanages across the country added N50 million from his personal purse to make it N250 million.
