The co-founder of Guaranty Trust Bank, Mr. Fola Adeola, has commended Senator Mukhail Adetokunbo Abiru, FCA, and his wife, Mrs. Feyisola Abiru, for investing in the future of young Nigerians through the SAIL Empowerment Foundation, describing the initiative as a “worthy legacy” built on service, selflessness and a commitment to humanity.
Adeola gave the commendation on Wednesday during a visit to the SAIL Innovation Lab in Ikorodu, where he inspected the facility and interacted with young beneficiaries of its various programmes.
Describing his visit as worthwhile, the renowned banker and philanthropist said the decision by the Abirus to commit their resources to empowering people outside their immediate family demonstrated a rare understanding of what it means to leave a lasting legacy.
“Whenever we decide to commit to causes bigger than ourselves, we are building a legacy. What you are doing is for children whose parents you may not even know. For society to survive, we must care for others, particularly the less privileged,” Adeola said.
