Singer Davido has fulfilled his promise to disburse N250 million to selected orphanage homes across the country
The singer gave the update on Tuesday evening in a statement released after the disbursement of the N250 million.
He also released names of the orphanages that benefitted from his gesture.
Recall that in November 2021, the singer asked his friends to gift him N1 million each ahead of his birthday.
He was gifted N200 million in less than 48 hours.
He added his personal donation of N50 million and gave it all out to charity.
In a statement signed by the multi-award winning singer on Tuesday, he revealed that the money had been disbursed to 292 homes selected from all the states of the federation.
The statement by Davido said: “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.”
Davido also took the time to thank those who contributed to the fund and the committee that oversaw the disbursement of the funds.
He added: “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.”
