Popular Nigerian singer, Davido has taken to social media to announce the complete disbursement of his N250 donation to 292 orphanages across the country.
KanyiDaily recalls that in November 2021, Davido had announced that all the N250 million he received from his friends as donations for his birthday would be given to orphanages across Nigeria.
In a statement shared on his Twitter page on Tuesday, February 15, the singer revealed that the money had been disbursed to 292 orphanage homes selected from all the states of the federation.
Davido also took the time to thank those who contributed to the fund and the committee that oversaw the disbursement of the funds. He also published the database listing the orphanages involved and their account details.
The statement reads, “As promised, a five-man disbursement committee was set up. Since its inauguration, the members of this committee have worked tirelessly to ensure that they collate the names and information of documented and verified orphanages.
“I am pleased to announce that the disbursement of funds is complete. So far, the total of N250,000,000 has been disbursed to 292 orphanages.
“As promised in my first statement, I have listed/attached the names and amounts disbursed to the various orphanages. In the spirit of transparency, I thought it wise to give you my loyal supporters, fans, friends and family an update in this regard.
“I would like to say a big thank you to everyone that made this possible, the committee of high calibre and principled people who dedicated their time to ensure this task was expeditiously carried out, my wonderful family, friends and well-wishers. Thank you for your continuous support and love,”
KanyiDaily recalls that Davido had announced that only government-approved orphanages would benefit from the N250m donation which had just been disbursed.
