For Olori Janet Afolabi, wealth is nothing, if it cannot be used for the advancement of society and mankind. The wife of Alapomu of the Apomu Kingdom, Oba Kayode Adenekan Afolabi, has been deploying her wealth to the service of humanity, especially in her domain in Apomu, Osun State.
All her actions in the past years point to the fact that she shares in her husband’s vision, which is to further change the face of the kingdom, while also bettering the lives of the indigenes.
In line with her zeal to continue to give back to the society, the CNN award-winning journalist played host to more than 900 school children around the kingdom and distributed 1000 books on May 27, Children’s Day. Beyond the gifts, other activities such as March Past, quiz, and dance competitions were organised, with winners going home with prizes.
Hon. Maroof Akinremi, Chairman, Isokan Local Government Area of Osun state, presented the first prize trophy to Prophet Muhammed School, which won in marching. Sunday Odewale from St Barnabas Anglican Primary school won the first prize in the dance competition.
Among those who attended the event were Iyaloja of Apomu, who is the woman leader of Apomu market Christian Akinlabu, Otun Iyalode of Apomu, and youth corps members, among others.
