In a remarkable show of compassion and commitment to student welfare, the former President of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) Senate, Akinteye Babatunde Afeez (popularly known as BABTEE), led the BAKITARIANS to the College of Health Technology, Akure (CHTA) for the maiden edition of the BAKITARIAN Campus Food Support (BCFS) initiative.
The outreach, which was held in honor of Hon. Dr. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo (BTO), the Minister of Interior, was conceived as a gesture of gratitude and recognition for his outstanding contributions to public service and humanity. According to Akinteye, the BCFS project was “birthed out of the undying will to make humanity better and to celebrate a man who has redefined public service through innovation and compassion.”
During the outreach, over 200 packs of Indomie noodles were distributed to students through the Students’ Union Government (SUG) of the institution. The initiative, Akinteye noted, was aimed at providing immediate relief and showing tangible care for students, particularly those facing economic challenges.
He described Hon. Dr. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo as a “distinct public administrator who has redefined and rejuvenated the Ministry of Interior beyond imagination,” adding that the program was organized to “honor BTO’s unique, unmatched, and unprecedented achievements, as well as his generosity and enduring service to humanity.”
Akinteye emphasized that the BAKITARIAN Campus Food Support is just the beginning of a long-term effort to give back to society and uplift Nigerian students. “Our resolve remains firm to continue championing causes that uplift lives and inspire positive change. This is only the beginning of something extraordinary,” he stated.
He further advised Nigerian students to remain focused on their education despite economic hardship, reminding them that academic excellence remains a powerful tool for personal and national development.
“Education is the greatest empowerment tool. No matter the challenges, stay focused, stay committed, and never lose sight of your goals,” Akinteye charged the students.
The BAKITARIAN Campus Food Support (BCFS) initiative is expected to tour more campuses across the country in the coming months as part of a sustained effort to promote humanitarian service and inspire student-driven social responsibility.
