Award-winning singer, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has revealed that the N250 million fund he pledged to distribute to orphanages across the country has received 1234 applications already.
The father of 3 took to his Instagram stories to give an update on the selection and disbursement processes.
One of the criteria for qualification is that applications must come from only registered orphanages in Nigeria within 3 days.
According to Davido. “Verification is ongoing and the report will be out by 15th December. Selection and Disbursment 18/19th and the press release should be 20th Dec. “1234 responded, 852 without orphanage names, 382 with orphanage names.
“The national association of orphanages in Nigeria sent the list of orphanage homes within their coverage, which to some extent, is helping us in the verification process

He also set up a five-man committee to monitor the progress of the disbursement of the fund.
