Otedola donates N5bn to daughter's DJ Cuppy Foundation, as Dangote gives N100m

Billionaire business mogul, Mr. Femi Otedola, on Sunday night, donated a sum of N5 billion to save the children against acute malnutrition in the Northeastern part of Nigeria.

Mr. Otedola made the donation at the inaugural his daughter’s DJ Cuppy Foundation Gold Gala held at Transcorp Hotel in Abuja.
Otedola made the donation through his first daughter, Miss Tolani Otedola.
While speaking at the event, the Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, said Otedola’s donation to save the children was the largest donation to charity in Nigeria today.

According to him, “We don’t need billionaires or millionaires to start doing something, the likes of DJ Cuppy who are already doing something that affects lives is a good example.”
On his part, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, who also donated N100 million, said that the country needs more Nigerians with a big heart to give back to the needy, saying the government should not be allowed to do it alone as the government already has a lot of challenges.
