Hon. ALA, whose message was delivered by a member of the board of trustees, Mr. Kehinde Oladoyinbo, said the founder of the ALA Care Foundation is passionate about religious harmony, peace, and the development of the Ibadan South East local government, hence the need for him to sponsor this year’s Ramadan lecture of the League of Imams in Felele Olorunsogo-Molete and the entire South East local government.
According to him, efforts are ongoing to facilitate motorized boreholes in some strategic areas of the local government through the foundation to ease the problem of water in the council area.

In his remarks, the Chief Imam of Anabi Loni gba Central Mosque, Molete Ibadan Alhaji Mahmud Kareem, said the programme was organized to sensitize Muslims on their expected roles during and after Ramadan.
While commending ALA for his philanthropist gesture, Alhaji Kareem, who doubles as the Chairman of the League of Imams in Olorunsogo-Molete Area, Ibadan, also advised Muslims on the importance of being tolerant and accepting of other religions.

He urged Muslims to emulate the philanthropic gesture of Hon Oludamilola-ALA, which cut across people in the South East local government irrespective of their political, religious, or ethnic affiliation.
