She urged the beneficiaries to make proper use of the support they received and encouraged them to extend kindness and generosity to others within their spheres.

Prof Adeyanju in a chat with newsmen observed that the federal government could not eradicate poverty alone submitting that was why the privileged should always give back to the society.
“I see a lot of poverty in the society but the truth is that the federal government alone cannot eradicate it. So, in my own little way, I am giving back to the society, and I thought I should start from home, to give hope to the people. Things are hard and so, we need to give hope in our little ways so things could be better.”
Asked if the idea was to seek political patronage and if members of a particular party were the beneficiaries, he discountenanced this suggestion, stressing, “the programme is not to curry political favour, and neither was selection of beneficiaries based on political affiliation but it is an effort to contribute to alleviate poverty. Personally, I have no political ambition, at the moment, but from the little I have seen, people need help and I want to pledge that I will continue to give back. Thak you.”
