Speaking during his courtesy visit to the pioneer chairperson of Oyo State Netball Association, Amb. Romoke Ayinde, Ojelabi said he is very happy to associate with the revival of netball in Oyo state because of his unrelent love for the youth and his past experience with Amb Ayinde.
"I have known Amb. Ayinde for a very long time and I can vouch for her integrity and when I learnt that she is leading the revival of netball in Oyo state, I quickly bought into it.
"I came all the way from UK to see how I can give back to the society expecially Oyo state because I was brought up here, and with Amb Ayinde, who I have known to always did things selflessly, I will do all within my power to support the project and her other projects, that's the laboratory she donated for the use of the state students," Ojelabi said.
Speaking further, Ojelabi promise to purchase equipments for netball from his UK base to support the revival of the game and again provide funds for the purchase of chemicals for the laboratory use.
In her reaction, Amb Ayinde, who is also the Iyalaje Adini of Oyo state, said she is very happy with Ojelabi's gesture and urge more people to emulate him."
Mr Anthony Ojelabi deserve an accolades for his philanthropic gesture and more people should emulate him for the development of our youth who are tomorrow's leaders.
"We can not leave everything to the government but we must contribute our own quota to the development of sports in our country," Amb Ayinde fondly called Kayrom Lee, said.
