The Executive Director of the DOW Education and Mentoring Foundation, Mr. Olurotimi Williams Daudu has donated law textbooks and other resource materials to the Faculty of Law, Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba Akoko Ondo State as part of the foundation Corporate Social Responsibility.
Presenting the gifts to the Dean of the Faculty, Dr. Oke Samuel, Mr. Williams said the gesture was part of extending hands of fellowship to the citadel of learning with the hope that the materials would go a long way in improving teaching and learning in the institution.
Speaking further, he said he’s always motivated to give back to the society. “I know the value of giving back to the society. I went through the trajectory of life that has taught me to always remember the needy and always give a helping hand to that person who is in need.
“I had a discussion with the faculty to give me their needs. You know sometimes, you give things that people don’t need. The university gave me a list of the book that they need and thankfully, we were able to get at least, 90 percent of those books they need.
This is just the first in the series. By the grace of God, I will do more. More donations will come to the faculty”.
The Ondo Born philanthropist advised the students to be more focused and be dutiful to their studies.
In his remark, the Dean of the faculty, Olugbenga Oke – Samuel who received the books, described the gesture as a laudable contribution to the faculty.
“These are the books that we need at this time that we are working towards the periodic accreditation visit by NUC and the Council of Legal Education and again, they are current books that will really enrich our library and aid our students in their study. So, this is a great contribution to us and we are very happy that somebody on his own just decided to donate these books to the faculty”.
He encouraged other privileged Nigerians to emulate Williams-Daudu and support the faculty in different ways.
It would be recalled that recently same foundation had earlier donated 2,000 exercise books to about 400 students in a public secondary school across the state.
