The first indigenous club in Lagos, Yoruba Tennis Club, has presented cheques to orphanages and motherless homes in the state.
The Chairman of the club, Olakunle Agbebi, SAN, said the cheques were part of the funds often generated and donated by members of the club.
He said the donation had become a yearly routine.
Agbebi said: “The donation of cheques to homes is beyond corporate social responsibility, but it’s a matter of caring, taking care of those that cannot take care of themselves, especially during this festive period.

Agbebi said the club had annual projects it carried out every year, to assist the vulnerable and the needy, adding that it had itemised more than 24 homes and orphanages for the presentation.
The Principal, Wesley School for the Hearing Impaired, School 1, Surulere, Mrs Elizabeth Popoola, thanked the club and expressed satisfaction about the cheque presentation.
