One of the cash beneficiaries, Charles Olopade, can't contain his happiness at the cash prize, stating it will go a long way in helping him to actualize his dreams.

"I love playing football a lot," says Charles

"I know I can become a superstar as well like Victor Osimhen. His journey from the street to the global stage inspires me and I know I can also do it.

"One major issue I have had over the years is getting my kits, things are expensive, but with this cash, I will be able to get a football boot and more jerseys.

"I can't thank them enough, hopefully, when I achieve my dreams I can also do this to other people who need such help.

"I am grateful, thanks and God bless them."

This is a welcome development, hopefully, more companies will also support this kind of initiative and give back to the community just as they have done.
