Meanwhile, a total of one hundred and one twenty pupils from secondary schools and seven hundred and thirty three from tertiary institutions have so far benefited from the foundation since inception.
In his remark the Olomu of Omu Aran , Oba Abdulraheem Adeoti, commended the foundation for the gesture adding that the rich and well ti do individual in the society should take a cue from the benevolent gesture of Engineer Babalola.
