ROAS FOUNDATION

*PROTOCOLS*

Good afternoon everyone,

It is a great honor to welcome you all to the formal launching and fundraising event of the Sir Rasheed Omokayode Atanda Shoderu Foundation. I am deeply anpreciative of our Royal Fathers, esteemed dignitaries, industry leaders, and all distinguished guests, donors, partners, and supporters who have joined us today, some traveling significant distances. Your presence underscores your commitment to Our shared vision, and for that, I am sincerely grateful.

Today, we commemorate not just the settlor's 85th birthday but the realisation of a dream conceived during his 80th birthday. This vision has now blossomed into the Sir Rasheed Omokayode Atanda Shoderu Foundation, a beacon of hope dedicated to providing scholarships to deserving students in tertiary institutions. We are here to launch this foundation, born from the settlor's enduring commitment to giving back to society by supporting students who excel academically and show promising leadership potential, with a inimum grade of upper credit or second class upper.

Education, as we know, transformative force. I am a firm believer that educating a single child can change not only their life but also uplift their family and community.

The benefits are extensive and profound:

• Education saves and improves lives, fostering more stable communities.
• It enhances lifetime earnings and economic prospects.
• It contributes to reducing violence and societal unrest.
• It upholds the fundamental right to education and represents our colective duty to future generations.

While it takes one person te envision a dream, it requires a collective effort to bring it to fruition, Nelson Mandele said, "Education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world." I invite you all to join me in launching this scholarshp program through the Sir Rasheed Omokayode Atanda Shoderu Foundation. I encourege yeu to contribute generously -- whether financially with ideas, or through advice. As Sir Winston Churchill aptly noted, "We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give."

To facilitate contributions, we have establiehed the following categories of donors for which members would be at iberty to upgrade:

• PLATINUM"; N2,000,000 and above
