A non-governmental organization, Christianna Foundation alongside family of late former Minister for Justice, Chief Richard Osuolale Akinjide SAN, has commemorated the 20th remembrance anniversary of late Mrs Elizabeth Adesola Akinjide with the visit to school of handicap, Bioku, Ibadan and distribution of school uniforms to pupils of the school.
The event was remarkable demonstration of compassion, humanitarian service and commitment to education development by Christianna Foundation.
The humanitarian gesture formed part of activities marking two decades since the passing of Mrs Elizabeth Akinjide, wife of late Chief Akinjide, whose life and legacy continue to inspire love, kindness, generosity and concern for the wellbeing of others. Until her death, Mrs Akinjide was in lineage of Iyalode of Ibadan land prior to her passing 24th October, 2006.
The initiative reflects the Foundation’s determination to keep the memory of Mrs Akinjide alive through meaningful interventions that positively impact society, particularly among vulnerable children who deserve equal opportunities to learn, grow and achieve their dreams.
Speaking on the significance of the outreach, representatives of the Foundation and the family emphasised that the best way to honour the memory of a departed loved mother, grandmother is to sustain the values and virtues she represented while alive.
The NGO noted that the distribution of school uniforms was aimed at supporting the pupils, boosting their confidence and making them feel included in the educational environment.
