FirstBank MD, 2 DIGs, 4 AIGs, 3 Military Generals, 3 CPs, others Honor AKEM Foundation’s 4th edition with 6 Million Naira Grants to 5 Biz Start-ups Winners in honor of late Engr. Akinola & Emiola Ogunsan.
What began four years ago as a heartfelt tribute by four siblings determined to immortalize the values of their late parents has today blossomed into one of the most inspiring family-driven impact initiatives in Lagos.
At the 4th Anniversary of the AKEM Foundation held in Lagos today 9th May, the atmosphere was not merely celebratory; it was visionary and deeply symbolic of what legacy truly means in a society increasingly searching for moral direction and sustainable philanthropy. Founded by Dr. Ayodele Ogunsan alongside his siblings, Abiodun, Aduke, and Folorunsho Ogunsan, the AKEM Foundation was conceived as a living memorial to late Engr. Akinola Ogunsan and Madam Emiola Ogunsan whose passion for education, discipline, enterprise, and compassion shaped not only their children but countless lives around them.
From supporting just four organizations at inception in 2023, to widening its intervention into education, entrepreneurship and business empowerment in 2025, AKEM Foundation has steadily evolved into a structured humanitarian platform touching education, social welfare, enterprise development, youth mentorship, and community transformation. But beyond the grants, scholarships, and empowerment programmes lies the deeper story: the deliberate institutionalization of family values.
In his opening remarks, the Chairman of AKEM Foundation, Dr. Ogunsan recalled his late parents, Engr. Akinola and Mrs. Emiola Ogunsan, “22 years ago, 5th May we lost our mom, Mrs. Emiola and 4 years after, our father died. If one couple dies, except there is no love, that is the day the other couple also dies. I remember how he would tell me ‘Ayo look at the time, is it right for a woman to leave home and not be back by now’. I was naive and not well-informed about how to be matured in such circumstances, I will just tell him straight, ‘Dad, our mother is dead’ It was later that I realized that I should have used wisdom to talk to him, such emotional moments. This is why about 5 years ago, myself and my siblings decided that we must keep this legacy alive having been tutored by these wonderful beings. We are a product of good parenting. The parents we are celebrating today got it right. We are four children and we are all doing what they taught us to do.”
On the thrust of the AKEM Foundation, he continued: “One of my parents, my dad is passionate about education and the other, my mother, is passionate about entrepreneurship. So we started this journey by putting our resources together to help people who do have opportunities to progress either academically or sustain their business. It is an open competition, we don’t try to influence it. This year, we got 71 applications which were reduced to 46 then to 21 and now 5 finalists. These are young Nigerians not known to us, we have never met them, we just threw the opportunity into the public space and now the first prize winner will go home with NGN1.5million, the second prize is N1.25 Million, the third prize is NGN1 million,the 4th prize is NGN 750,000 and the 5th prize is NGN 500,000”
On his part, the MD/CEO of AKEM Foundation, Mr. Abiodun Ogunsan expanded further on the organizational impact of AKEM Foundation. He said: “We are not just building an organization. We are building hope, transforming lives and shaping a future where no dream is limited by lack of opportunity. Our mission is noted in education, entrepreneurship, and sustainable empowerment to ensure that the youths are equipped to rise above challenges and become catalysts of change in their communities. At AKEM Foundation, we remain committed to creating pathways for growth, dignity, and self-reliance, we believe empowerment is not just about giving. It is about enabling people to stand tall, thrive, and impact others positively.”
The five finalists who emerged out of 71 initial applications were physically present at the Anniversary event to pitch their business ideas before a 4-man panel comprising Ezekiel Ishola, manager at Standard Chartered Bank, Prof. Festus Ope Davies, Dr. Wunmi Alabi from LUTH, and Dr. Moses Oladimeji, the LSSTF-CACCOV State Coordinator and an engaging audience with over 300 in attendance. The pitch competition produced Adetolani Amokaye as the First place winner with her grand prize of N1.5 million upgraded to over 2 million by some dignitaries support; Adeola Deborah Agboola emerged 2nd place winner and her NGN 1.25 million was upgraded to almost N2million; the third prize winner Nkechi Gift had her NGN 1 million prize upgraded with immediate 100 orders of her sweet potato products from the Chinese community including access to agricultural products, sales and packaging courtesy Chinese business leader, Madam May Ma; Ekom Gideon Fidelis who came 4th position got 750,000 plus Chinese community support to support his house rental business, and Ajala Tiyinoluwa Busola who emerged 5th position got NGN 500,000 prize.

Restoring Hope Through Better Sight; Joy Ogunsan and Soleeha Musa-Etiko Provide Free Eye Screening, Prescription Glasses to Underserved Nigerians Through MediServe.
Restoring Hope Through Better Sight; Joy Ogunsan and Soleeha Musa-Etiko Provide Free Eye Screening, Prescription Glasses to Underserved Nigerians Through MediServe.
For millions of Nigerians, clear vision is often taken for granted until blurred sight begins to steal the simple joys of everyday life. Reading a text message, identifying a familiar face across the road, driving safely through traffic, or threading a needle can suddenly become daunting tasks when eye problems go untreated. Yet, across the country, many people continue to live with avoidable visual impairment simply because quality eye care remains beyond their financial reach.
Health experts have repeatedly warned that many eye conditions, including glaucoma and refractive errors, can be effectively managed when detected early. However, poverty, limited awareness, and inadequate access to routine eye examinations continue to deny thousands of Nigerians the opportunity to preserve one of life’s greatest gifts, that is, the ability to see.
Against this backdrop, two young women, long before earning their medical degrees, are already demonstrating what compassionate healthcare leadership can look like.
Through MediServe, a female-led healthcare initiative they founded, aspiring medical students Joy Ogunsan and Soleeha Musa-Etiko are quietly proving that meaningful impact is not determined by age or professional titles but by the willingness to identify a need and respond with compassion.
Their latest intervention unfolded at MeCure HealthCare Limited in Oshodi, one of Lagos’ busiest commercial hubs, where commercial drivers, elderly residents, traders and teenagers gathered at the Debo Industries Compound of MeCure HealthCare Limited to receive the gift of clearer vision. The outreach marked the conclusion of an earlier free eye screening exercise during which about 60 residents underwent comprehensive eye examinations conducted by professional eye care specialists. Following detailed assessments, 14 beneficiaries with the most urgent visual needs were selected to receive specially prescribed medicated glasses, individually produced to match each person’s diagnosis.
For the two co-founders, the exercise was never about distributing spectacles. It was about restoring independence, improving safety and giving people the confidence to carry out everyday activities without unnecessary visual strain.
Soleeha Musa-Etiko, Founder of MediServe said: “We realised that many Nigerians quietly struggle with eye problems without seeking help until the situation becomes severe. The testimonies have been deeply encouraging. Some beneficiaries told us they can now see clearly again, while others said the persistent itching they experienced has stopped. Seeing that transformation is the greatest reward for us.”
According to her, Oshodi was deliberately selected for the initial free eye screening because it offers direct access to commercial drivers, elderly citizens, commuters and other members of the public who may otherwise have limited access to routine eye care.
Her co-founder, Joy Ogunsan, explained that although MediServe has broader healthcare ambitions, eye health became their first area of intervention after observing the increasing number of Nigerians living with preventable visual problems. “We’ve seen many elderly people struggling with poor vision, and we’ve also come across cases of glaucoma and other eye diseases that often go unnoticed until they become serious,” she said.
“We wanted to contribute our own quota by making eye care accessible to people who ordinarily may not be able to afford it.”
Despite being students preparing for university, both young women have balanced academic responsibilities with fundraising, partnership development and community mobilisation to sustain the initiative. They acknowledged that securing institutional support was one of their biggest challenges, but support eventually came through family members, friends, sponsors and healthcare partners who believed in their vision.
The partner on the project, MeCure Eye Centre described the outreach as different from many community eye programmes because each beneficiary received glasses specially prescribed after thorough clinical evaluation.
The Chief Optometrist, Dr. Comfort Ikedieze Isaac highlighted: “The glasses were individually prepared to serve both distance and near vision. Many people attend eye outreaches expecting ready-made glasses, but these prescriptions were specifically designed for each beneficiary after careful examination,”she explained.
She also stressed the importance of routine eye examinations, noting that dangerous conditions such as glaucoma often progress silently before symptoms become obvious. “Many patients only present when the disease has reached an advanced stage,” she said. “Early detection remains the best way to preserve vision.”
For beneficiaries, the impact was immediate and deeply personal. Mr. Kelechi Okwuosa, who received prescription glasses for the first time, described the experience as life-changing.
“I used to struggle with blurred vision whenever I wanted to read,” he said. “Now I can read comfortably, even on my phone. Everything is much clearer.”
Mrs. Olarenwaju Funmilayo also expressed gratitude after years of struggling with blurry vision. “I can now see clearly,” she said with excitement. “These young ladies have helped many people in our community. I pray God continues to bless them.”
A 14-year old beneficiary, Muiz Balogun, said the persistent itching that had troubled his eyes had significantly reduced after receiving his glasses.
Beyond the distribution of prescription lenses, the outreach became a powerful reminder that healthcare interventions do not always begin inside large hospitals or require billion-naira budgets. Sometimes, they begin with two determined young people who refuse to overlook the suffering around them.
Looking ahead, Joy Ogunsan and Soleeha Musa-Etiko hope to transform MediServe into a fully established non-profit healthcare organisation capable of reaching underserved communities across Nigeria. Their long-term vision includes expanding into other areas of healthcare, building a strong volunteer network and, ultimately, establishing a hospital that reflects their commitment to accessible and equitable healthcare.
At a time when conversations around healthcare often focus on infrastructure, funding and policy reforms, the story of MediServe offers an important lesson that compassion remains one of medicine’s most powerful tools.
Other dignitaries in attendance during the distribution of the free medicated eye glasses are the Managing Director and CEO of Executive Hotel and Suites, Dr. Ajoke Ogunsan; Consultant Ophthalmologist at MeCure, Dr. Sunday Alabi and Nurse Manager, MeCure, Mrs. Gloria Odok among others.

Rotary District 9111 donates Peace Institute Building to Olabisi Onabanjo University
By Sunday Aikulola
As part of efforts aimed at preventing conflicts and promoting sustainable peace, members of Rotary International District 9111 yesterday donated Peace Institute Building to the management of Olabisi Onabanjo University (OOU), Ago-Iwoye Ogun State.
In his speech, District Governor of Rotary International District 9111, Rotarian Henry Akinyele said the Peace Institute is the District and Rotarians statement that peace must be taught, researched and practised, beginning from campuses and extending into communities.
To him, rather than waiting for conflict to happen, Rotarians chose to prevent it through education, dialogue and research.
Earlier this Rotary year, Akinyele recalled, ‘we organised a Peace Summit where participants agreed with the United Nations that quality education should include peace education. This Institute will train peace builders from different sectors of society in mediation, conflict analysis and non-violent communication’
Saying peace is everyone’s responsibility, Akinyele also added the project demonstrates the power of partnership among Rotary, Olabisi Onabanjo University, government and the wider community working together.
Specifically, he noted, ‘the United Nations also affirmed that conflict is one of the greatest causes of poverty and inequality. When communities are in conflict, schools close, farms are abandoned, businesses suffer and young people lose opportunities.
By investing in peace, we are protecting education, livelihoods and the future of our communities.
In conclusion, he disclosed, ‘today’s commissioning is another example of Rotary keeping its promises. I must acknowledge our Immediate Past District Governor, Dr. Oluwole Kukoyi, who conceived and introduced the three-month Certificate Programme in Peace Building, Conflict Prevention and Security Studies during the 2024–2025 Rotary year.’
In her speech, Ogun State Deputy Governor, Noimot Salako-Oyedele noted that Rotary has made significant contribution by donating the Peace Building.
‘I want to congratulate the Vice Chancellor, management and staff of OOU for the gesture. The facility will support conflict prevention, mediation and community development. ‘ She added.
On her part, OOU Deputy Vice Chancellor Academics, Prof. Olatundun Abosede stated the facility is an investment in peace promotion. To her, ‘we are deeply grateful to Rotarians for the cause.’

TomTom Continues to Back the Music Talents through its Youth Focus.
Different types of musical instruments vector. Template for background, banner, card. 21 June. Important day
Initiatives
Every year, World Music Day serves as a reminder of the powerful role music plays in
shaping culture, identity, and human connection. In Nigeria, especially, music has
become more than entertainment. It is how young people express themselves, tell
their stories, build communities, and increasingly, create opportunities for global
relevance.
From Afrobeats becoming an international force to local sounds influencing pop
culture conversations across the world, Nigeria’s music industry has evolved into one
of the country’s strongest cultural exports. But behind the success stories and
chart-topping moments is a growing need to properly support the next generation of
talents who will carry the industry forward.
For years, TomTom has maintained a strong connection with Nigeria’s youth culture
and entertainment scene, growing beyond a household menthol candy brand into
one that naturally exists within music and pop culture conversations. From major
concerts and live music experiences to youth-focused creative initiatives like; Trace
in the City, and the MTV Base Cypher, the brand has consistently shown up in spaces
that matter to young Nigerians.
In recent time, that relationship with culture is evolving into something more
intentional through initiatives like Breathe Academy, the Breathe For It Summit, and
the Breathe Through It Verse Challenge, platforms designed to support, inspire, and
empower emerging music talents.
As Nigeria’s music industry continues to gain global recognition, there is also growing
awareness around the importance of mentorship, education, and access for
emerging talents. While talent is abundant, many young creatives still struggle with
understanding the business side of music and navigating the realities of an
increasingly competitive industry.
This is part of what makes initiatives like Breathe Academy relevant. TomTom’s online learning platform created to help aspiring artists and creatives
better understand both the craft and business of music. At a time when many young
talents are trying to navigate an increasingly competitive industry, access to
practical knowledge and mentorship has become just as important as talent itself.
Through curated learning sessions, industry-led conversations, and expert insights,
participants gain exposure to areas like branding, music distribution, content
creation, marketing, audience building, and career development. The platform is
helping simplify industry knowledge in a way that feels practical, relatable, and
accessible for young creatives trying to find their footing.
Ahead of World Music Day, TomTom continues to strengthen its position as a brand
that understands and contributes to Nigeria’s music culture not only through
entertainment experiences, but also by helping create opportunities for the next
generation of artists, creators, and music entrepreneurs to grow and succeed.
