Bikers Academy last weekend donated food items and chairs to The Care People Foundation along Ibadan-Lagos Expressway, Ibadan.
Chief Executive Officer of the Bikers Academy, Gbolahan Olayiwola, led staff members and friends to the orphanage to show support for the less privileged in the society.
According to Olayiwola, Bikers Academy is the premier rider training school in Ibadan and they have provided quality training to new and experienced riders in Oyo State.
Olayiwola, revealed that the initiative is part of the organisation’s corporate social responsibility, adding that the objective of the Academy is to reduce the incidence of motorcycle accidents to the barest minimum in Oyo State and the country as a whole.
“The whole essence is to give back to the society, I think life is all about love and care, we can’t be doing risky things without thinking about the less-privileged. So, we thought about it, it is a calling and it is part of CSR for this Academy this year, that we need to give back to the less privileged, that is all about the whole idea. We want to show love, we want to show the Care.
“We have been doing a lot of advocacy, trying to educate riders about safety and we have trying to talk to government to find a way to look at our roads, fix them, put them in order so that we can have lesser cases of
motorcycle accidents,” he said.
Meanwhile, the Founder of the Care People Foundation, Reverend Tunde Tioluwani lauded the group for its kind gesture.
“Poor people are very prime in the heart of the most high God. Anything you are doing whether you are running an organisation, a church or a parastatal, you must have programmes for the poor like what the bikers did today,” he said.
