Another man who selflessly helped kids

Meanwhile, Briefly News earlier reported that a journalist and former presidential spokesman, Olusegun Adeniyi, warmed hearts on social media after building a school for the less privileged kids in his neighbourhood.

According to Tope Fasua, who made the disclosure on Facebook, Adeniyi noticed that the children were not attending school so he decided to build one beside his house.

In his words:

"He noticed that there were so many children around living in the shanties around who do not attend school, so he put up a small shack on land nearby."
