A former Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Dr. Bode Olajumoke has donated a four- bedroom apartment to the Lagos State Scout Council as part of activities marking his seventieth birthday.

The building, which is located inside the Baden Powell Training Centre, Ibeshe, Ikorodu is for the use of Lagos State Disabled and Special Scouts.

Handing over the building, Dr. Olajumoke said he decided to give back to the society, especially to the physically challenged in order to inspire and give them a sense of belonging.

His words, “this land was donated by Justice Adeoba 10years ago. It has been lying fallow and I decided to build the four bedroom chalet to help the disabled Scouts in Lagos to have a place to live whenever they come for training in the institute”.

Speaking at the commissioning, the Lagos State Scout Council Commissioner, Chief Joseph Tawose thanked Senator Bode Olajumoke for the donations and his ceaseless assistance in the growth and development of the National and Lagos State Scout Council over the
years.

The Chief Commissioner of Scout in Nigeria, Olori Omo Oba Olusoga Atibioke commended Dr. Olajumoke for his sundry philanthropic gestures and urged other wealthy personalities in the country to emulate him, adding that wealth would not be taken to heaven.
