The Anwojue Foundation honored the Honorable Waliu Owode Ifedolapo with the Humanitarian Philanthropist Award during the final football competition hosted by the foundation. The prestigious award was received on his behalf by his wife, Mrs. Olayinka Owode, at a well-attended ceremony.
Hon. Waliu Owode, a respected member of the Ogun State House of Assembly representing the Ijebu East local government area, was unable to attend the event in person as he is currently in Saudi Arabia observing the Hajj pilgrimage, fulfilling a significant Islamic rite.
The Anwojue Foundation’s football competition, which culminated in an exciting final match, was a platform to recognize individuals who have made substantial contributions to humanitarian efforts and community development. Hon. Waliu Owode was selected for this award in recognition of his outstanding philanthropic activities and dedication to improving the lives of his constituents.
Mrs. Olayinka Owode, who accepted the award on behalf of her husband, expressed gratitude for the recognition. “My husband is deeply committed to the welfare of the people in Ijebu East and beyond. This award is a testament to his hard work and dedication to humanitarian causes. He is honored to be recognized by the Anwojue Foundation and will continue his efforts to serve the community,” she stated.
Hon. Waliu Owode’s absence at the event due to his pilgrimage underscores his devotion to his faith while maintaining his commitment to public service. His ongoing contributions to the community include various initiatives aimed at improving healthcare, education, and social welfare in Ijebu East.
The Anwojue Foundation, known for its dedication to community development and support for local talents, emphasized the importance of celebrating individuals who selflessly contribute to societal growth. The football competition, which brought together young athletes from various regions, also served as a reminder of the power of sports in fostering unity and promoting positive values.
As Hon. Waliu Owode continues his pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia, his receipt of the Humanitarian Philanthropist Award stands as a significant acknowledgment of his enduring impact on his community. The people of Ijebu East and Ogun State at large celebrate his achievements and look forward to his continued service upon his return.
