The vote of confidence on Senator Kashamu was passed on Friday at the expanded State Executive Committee (Exco) meeting.

A three-term Chairman of Ijebu North-East Local Government Area and the State Women Leader of the Foundation, Otunba (Mrs) Remi Odubote-Ogunkoya moved the motion, which was seconded by Hon. Odejimi Olalekan from Abk South Local Government Area.

The motion was unanimously  adopted by the state officers, local government coordinators and secretaries in attendance.

Addressing  members of the state executive council after the vote of confidence, Osoba said the foundation has been able to achieve a lot, courtesy of the unwavering support and regular funding of the organisation by its founder, Senator Buruji Kashamu.
He said Omoilu Foundation remains the only Foundation that is totally committed to the cause of the down-trodden in Southwestern Nigeria.
Speaking further, he said N19.5million has been disbursed to 700 beneficiaries across Ogun State in the first phase of the Foundation's zero-interest rate micro-credit scheme that was flagged-off in April 2016.

"We want to appreciate the founder of Omoilu Foundation, Senator Kashamu for committing his hard-earned money to the service of humanity. He is a philanthropist of repute. We have disbursed a micro-loan of N19.5Million to 700 people across Ogun State in the last seven months under the Foundation's zero-interest micro-loan scheme.

"The second phase of the loan scheme shall commence soon and over 800 market men and women are expected to benefit from it. The foundation has also picked hospital bills of many indigent patients, just as we have given out scholarship to indigent students in both the secondary and tertiary institutions, " Osoba said.

He urged the state officers, local government coordinators and ward coordinators of the Foundation  to remain firm and concentrate on reaching out to people who are willing to become members of the Foundation.

“I call on you to be firm and committed. Remain solid on ground and ensure your respective units are in order. I urge you all to comb everywhere in your local government areas and fish out people that could be part of the activities of Omoilu Foundation. Bring on board as many as possible so they can benefit from the second phase of our micro loan scheme," the coordinator said.

In his exhortation, the pioneer State Coordinator of Omoilu Foundation, Mr. Leke Shitu urged the local government coordinators to work in harmony with the micro-finance bank officials in their localities to ensure the beneficiaries access the loan without much stress.
He commended the coordinators of Abeokuta South, Ijebu North, Ijebu North- East, Ipokia, Sagamu and Ijebu Ode local government areas for working hand-in- hand with the micro-finance bank officials in their respective local government areas.


Speaking on behalf of the senatorial and local government officials, the Ogun Central Senatorial District Coordinator of the Foundation, Hon. Akeem Odejimi hailed Senator Kashamu for always keeping to his words, saying the Foundation has done a lot in helping people to be business owners through series of empowerment programmes and the micro-credit scheme.

Dignitaries in attendance were the PDP chairperson for Ijebu North local government area, Chief Mrs Omotuke Omotara, Chief Aina Ijakoko, Chief Suraju Adeleye, Hon. Folarin Nasir, Chief Mrs. Iyabo Ogunmefun, Hon. Jigan Taiwo, Barrister Seun Adesanya, Engineer Segun Kaka among others.
