Chief executive officer of Lekoil, Lekan Akinyanmi,said,the move underscores the company’s ethos of consistent giving and community support. “At Lekoil, we believe that giving should be a habit.

Speaking further, Akinyanmi commended Chidinma Obi Sedenu, founder of The Gamesville Foundation, for her dedication and vision. “She has been doing this incredible work, often independently. When we saw the value of what she was building, we knew we had to support it.

We also encourage our colleagues to come up with ideas like these that uplift and unite communities,” he added.
