To commemorate the 80th birthday of Dr. Bode Olajumoke, the Care People Foundation organized an outreach programme that provided wheelchairs to persons with disabilities and distributed food items to widows and other vulnerable members of the community in Ibadan, Oyo State.
The initiative reflected Dr. Olajumoke's lifelong commitment to compassion, service, and improving the welfare of disadvantaged individuals. As the Grand Patron of the Care People Foundation, he has consistently supported the organization's humanitarian programmes and community development efforts over the years.
Speaking during the event, the Foundation's President, Rev. Paul Tioluwani-Lesekese, described Dr. Olajumoke as a distinguished statesman, accomplished leader, and dedicated philanthropist whose generosity has enabled the Foundation to reach countless beneficiaries. He noted that the outreach programme was organized as a meaningful way to celebrate Dr. Olajumoke's milestone birthday by extending support to those in need.
Beneficiaries expressed heartfelt appreciation for the assistance received. Recipients of the wheelchairs shared how the mobility aids would enhance their independence and improve their daily lives, while widows who received food items thanked the Foundation for its timely support.
The outreach serves as a reflection of the values that Dr. Olajumoke has championed throughout his life—selfless service, compassion, and a commitment to uplifting vulnerable communities. These principles continue to inspire the mission of the Bode Olajumoke Education and Hospitality Initiative (BOEHI) in promoting dignity, opportunity, and sustainable community development.
