Adẹ́pọ́lá Rachael's 2024 Charity Project Empowers 23 Students with Scholarships, Celebrates Academic Excellence

Adebola Rachael hosted the DETEEBLAZER ABILITY IN DISABILITY (AID) Charity Project on Saturday, October 28, 2024. This year’s initiative, initially planned for February, was postponed due to scheduling conflicts with her Call to Bar ceremony and wedding. However, Rachael remained hopeful, believing that the project would still take place before the end of the year.

The charity event took place at Anglican Girls College Ketu Ijanikin, where a total of ₦1,150,000 (one million one hundred and fifty thousand naira) was donated to 23 students as 50% scholarships for their JSS3 and SS3 WAEC exams, amounting to ₦50,000 each. These 23 students were part of a group of 30 who gained fame for performing the viral song “Lilo Bobo Eda Laye Owo Re Lowa,” originally sung by Governor General.

In addition to the scholarships, Rachael recognized outstanding academic achievements by awarding ₦50,000 to an SSS2 student who excelled in 15 subjects, and another ₦50,000 to a JSS2 student who achieved the best results in 10 subjects. A further ₦30,000 was awarded to a student who excelled in 6 subjects, all aimed at encouraging their academic endeavors.

To further enrich the school environment, Rachael donated handmade flower vases, which she crafted herself, showcasing her dedication to beautifying the school.

In a surprise highlight, the original artist of the viral song, Governor General, was invited to perform alongside the students, uplifting their spirits and creating a memorable experience for all attendees.

Rachael expressed her gratitude, stating, "To God be the glory! Halleluyah!" She also hinted at exciting plans for the 2025 charity project, encouraging everyone to stay tuned for future initiatives.

This year’s event exemplifies the spirit of giving and support for education, reinforcing the importance of investing in the future of young Nigerians.
