On the back of this, the company donated N20 million worth of infrastructure to St. Patrick’s Catholic Primary School, Abebi, Ibadan.

The donation was part of the celebration of his 60th birthday, which coincided with SoftAlliance’s 20th anniversary.

The donation includes four newly renovated toilets and the fencing of part of the school, improving both hygiene and security for the students.

Aina, an alumnus of St. Patrick’s Catholic Primary School, class of 1977, disclosed that he was motivated to give back to his alma mater as part of the company’s CSR efforts.

“This donation allows me to give back to the school that laid the foundation for my education. After visiting St. Patrick’s and seeing the poor condition of the facilities, I knew I had to do something,” Aina said.

In addition to the infrastructure donation, cash awards were presented to 42 individuals, including 15 top-performing pupils in primaries 1-5, 12 teachers, and cultural dancers.
