3. An impact investor. If you paid attention to the earlier points, we do not need to go further. However, another feather to his cap would be his substantial investments in the education, health and economic empowerment of vulnerable persons and under-served communities both in his personal capacity and as the Chairman of the MTN Foundation.
On Thursday, July 30, the foundation at a virtual event, handed over an e-library named after Prince Julius Adelusi-Adeluyi to the Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU). The university has become the latest recipient of the e-library intervention by the MTN Foundation joining the University of Lagos, Ahmadu Bello University, University of Nigeria and University of Benin.
While giving his remarks at the event, Prince Adelusi-Adeluyi said “for me, buying books have been a lifelong investment and when it was time to give them away, my alma-mater, the Obafemi Awolowo University came to mind. On speaking with the school librarian, it became necessary to equip the library with some digital resources and this was where the MTN Foundation came in.”
