The response and outcome exceeded my expectations as I received about N200million in less than two days. I truly appreciate everyone who donated hard-earned funds and I am very thankful for your generosity.

“I have always been passionate about giving back and helping people. In view of this, I am delighted to announce that all the funds received will be donated to orphanages across Nigeria as well as the Paroche Foundation.

“In addition, I will be making a personal donation of N50million, bringing the total amount to N250million,” Davido said.

The distribution of the fund will be overseen by a five-person committee made up of individuals with integrity, according to a statement by the artiste.
