Baba Ijebu gets another award

When you mention Baba Ijebu, the one name that immediately comes to mind is Chief Kessington Adebutu, the man who was given the name by his teeming admirers on account of his popularity as gaming entrepreneur. Adebutu is believed to make billions from his businesses, but he doesn’t keep those billions to himself. He gives some of them back to society for humanitarian causes and every sector of the economy has benefitted from his good will. And because of his invaluable contributions to the society’s development, the socialite was presented a lifetime achievement award by the Youth Advancement for Qualitative Education founded by Wale Bello, Charles Onwuemene and Lina Okafor. According to Onwuemene: “Chief Adebutu deserves this award because he really encourages and supports Nigeria’s youths in every sector; education, entertainment, sports and so on. And we really want him to support more youths by sponsoring them on vocational courses that are as short as eight weeks and some last up to fourteen months, but the certificate that comes with it will get its owner employment.” Speaking further, Onwuemene said, “We’ve since discovered that it’s not until youths spend years in a university to get a degree before they can get a job. With a vocational course in aviation for instance, they will get employment and we therefore want Chief to sponsor youths for vocational courses.”
