In celebration of Eid al-Adha, Prince Deji Ola has mobilized a team of volunteers for a humanitarian initiative tagged Clothe the Needy. The project is aimed at supporting underprivileged individuals by providing clothing and other essential items to help them celebrate the season with dignity.
Once again, through this impactful initiative, the team reached out to vulnerable members of society across various communities in the historic city of Ibadan, recording over 500 beneficiaries.

Ola extended heartfelt appreciation to his friends, volunteers, donors, and supporters for their unwavering commitment and generosity.
He noted that Friends of Deji Ola, the group behind the initiative, remains dedicated to life-changing projects that directly impact everyday citizens across Oyo State and Nigeria. He emphasized that this commitment has been central to their mission since 2018.
“In the past seven years, we have touched countless lives through various initiatives such as Random Acts of Kindness, Clothe the Needy, One Book, One Pen, Free Tutorials, Food Bank, Capacity Building, Environmental Awareness, and Sanitation Drives,” Ola said.
