Davido To Donate N300 Million to Fight Drug Abuse and Support Orphanages on His Birthday
Nigerian superstar Davido is set to celebrate his upcoming birthday in a remarkable way, pledging a massive N300 million donation to orphanages and charities tackling drug abuse and addiction in Nigeria.
This announcement comes as part of the artist’s ongoing commitment to giving back to society. In 2021, Davido made headlines when his friends gifted him N200 million for his birthday. He topped it up with an additional N50 million from his own pocket and distributed the total to orphanages across the country.
In a recent tweet, the award-winning singer expressed his renewed dedication to supporting vulnerable populations and addressing societal challenges. He wrote:
“Once again, my birthday this year, we donating to orphanages and a charity that helps young people stay away from drug abuse & addiction. This year is N300m. Details to follow soon ❤️”
Davido’s initiative is particularly timely, as drug abuse and addiction remain critical issues affecting Nigeria’s youth. His donation is expected to make a significant impact by providing resources to organizations that work tirelessly to rehabilitate and guide young people toward healthier lifestyles.
Details on how the funds will be distributed are expected to be shared in the coming weeks.
This gesture reaffirms Davido’s commitment to empowering communities and making a difference beyond his music career.
