EPE, LAGOS — The Chief Executive Officer of Harmony Garden and Estate Development Limited, Hon. Dr. Saheed Audullahi Mosadoluwa, popularly known as Mr. Ibile, has reaffirmed his commitment to humanitarian service by extending increased welfare support to widows in Epe.

The gesture came during a visit by members of the Widows Association of Nigeria, Epe Branch, who gathered in large numbers on Tuesday to express appreciation for what they described as sustained generosity and life-changing support.

The engagement was marked by emotional testimonies, as several beneficiaries recounted how the initiative has improved their living conditions and restored hope. Many offered prayers for the philanthropist, describing his intervention as timely and impactful amid prevailing economic challenges.

One of the beneficiaries, Mrs. Folorunsho Quadri, commended Dr. Mosadoluwa’s consistent support, noting that the initiative has helped restore dignity among widows in the community. She revealed that members receive ₦100,000 quarterly, alongside a monthly stipend recently increased from ₦10,000 to ₦20,000 to cushion the effects of economic hardship.

According to her, the assistance goes beyond financial relief, providing emotional strength and encouragement for widows striving to rebuild their lives.

Responding, Dr. Mosadoluwa expressed gratitude for the visit and reiterated that his philanthropic activities are rooted in a genuine desire to give back to society.

The real estate developer also addressed concerns surrounding Harmony Garden, assuring the public of the company’s commitment to transparency and integrity, particularly in its land transactions.

He dismissed speculations linking his humanitarian gestures to political ambitions, maintaining that his actions are driven solely by compassion and a sense of social responsibility.

Dr. Mosadoluwa further urged the widows to make judicious use of the support while remaining resilient and hopeful despite life’s challenges.

Observers say the initiative highlights the increasing role of private sector players in complementing government efforts toward social welfare and community development.

We Die Here” – Court Defied as FGCKOSA Vows All-Out Fight to Save Federal Government College Kano Land

We Die Here” – Court Defied as FGCKOSA Vows All-Out Fight to Save Federal Government College Kano Land

We Die Here” – Court Defied as FGCKOSA Vows All-Out Fight to Save Federal Government College Kano Land

 

 

The Federal Government College Kano Old Students Association (FGCKOSA) has issued a fiery declaration of war against what it calls the illegal encroachment on its alma mater’s land, accusing unnamed parties of continuing construction work in brazen defiance of a court order.

 

In a passionate press statement released on Wednesday, the association declared that the land of the historic unity school is “not for sale, not for trade, not for negotiation,” and vowed to fight “legally, socially, and institutionally” without retreat or surrender.

 

According to FGCKOSA, the association acted swiftly after the encroachment came to light, engaging the Federal Ministry of Education, mobilising across media platforms, and securing an ex parte court order in Suit No. K/323/2026 before Honourable Justice Ubale Yusuf Muhammad of the Kano State High Court. The order, served on all parties by Saturday, April 11, 2026, commanded an immediate halt to all activity on the land.

 

However, the association reports that on Monday, an officer of the Kano State High Court, accompanied by alumni members, visited the site and found workers still present. The court order was served directly to school authorities, yet, FGCKOSA alleges, work has continued unabated.

 

Describing the act as “a brazen, shameless, and reckless act of impunity,” the association’s national president, Shoyinka Shodunke, said in the statement: “This is not development. This is racketeering. This is not enterprise. This is greed masquerading as progress.”

 

The statement reminded Nigerians that unity schools are “cradles of leadership, crucibles of character, and cathedrals of national unity,” warning that to violate them is to “vandalise Nigeria’s future.” It called on citizens, the federal government, and the press to declare where they stand, noting that “nations do not collapse from a lack of gold; they collapse when those entrusted with power lose their moral compass.”

FGCKOSA further announced that it has established a foundation to raise funds for upgrading the school’s infrastructure—but stressed that this would be done “without conceding a single inch of land.” The statement ended with a fierce vow drawn from the school’s anthem: “On that glorious day… I vow to revere and thee adore,” adding, “As we say in Nigeria, we die here.”

 

Shodunke signed off on behalf of the association, declaring: “We will not relent. We will not forget. We will not forgive any assault on our alma mater.”
