Nigerias richest woman, Folorunso Alakija, says the 23 million medical research and training hospital she has donated to Osun State University is meant to do two things she considers essential: save lives and educate future doctors.
In a recent post on LinkedIn , Alakija reflected on the years behind the project, describing it as a long-held commitment rather than a single act of charity. Seven years ago, we turned the first sod on this ground with a prayer and a vision, she wrote. The goal was to build a hospital that would not only serve Osun State University, but also help shape the future of healthcare.
