Nigerian businessman and billionaire Femi Otedola has gone down memory lane over his philanthropic deeds.
On his Instagram page, he shared throwback photos of himself making a N200 million donation in 2005 to help fund education for youths in Lagos State.
The donation was made at the Sir Michael Otedola Scholarship Award Ceremony, chaired by then Lagos State Governor, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Recounting his grand gesture, Otedola said true wealth isn’t measured by what we keep but by the lives we change.
“Throwback Thursday. 21 years ago today (in 2005), then Governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, chaired the Sir Michael Otedola Scholarship Scheme Award Ceremony. Today, His Excellency now serves as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
At the ceremony, I donated N200,000,000 (two hundred million naira only) to the scholarship scheme founded by my late father in 1987, continuing our family’s commitment to investing in education.
True wealth is not measured by what we keep, but by the lives we change … F.Ote”.
