Barely three months after the passage of the late activist and Afenifere spokesman, Yinka Odumakin, a Foundation, Oluyinka Odumakin Foundation, has been established to immortalize him.
The birth of the Foundation was announced in a statement signed and made available to Oyo Reporters, on Thursday, by wife of the deceased and President of the Foundation, Dr. Joe Okei Odumakin, a front line activist in the land.
The statement read that “Comrade Yinka Odumakin stepped into immortality as the CAC formally registered the Oluyinka Odumakin foundation.”
The widow and President of the Foundation, Dr. Joe Okei Odumakin, said the purpose of the Foundation is to honour Yinka’s memory by keeping his ideals alive.
Okei-Odumakin added that the Foundation would undertake projects relating to the departed Afenifere spokesman and ward against attempts which might have the dubious motives of tarnishing his memory.
Among other eminent personalities on the Board of Trustees is Dr. Tokunbo Awolowo-Dosunmu as chairman.
Okei-Odumakin was quoted in the statement as saying, “The public should look forward to more information about the Foundation which is projected to function effectively at the crossroads where Nigeria currently finds itself by offering effective solutions to nagging problems.”
