The Noella Foundation has announced a series of nationwide initiatives in celebration of its co-founder, Mr. Seyi Tinubu, marking his 40th birthday. Supported by friends and well-wishers, the initiatives aim to create lasting social impact across health, entrepreneurship, and education in Nigeria.
In a statement released by the Foundation, it said the activities were carefully designed to reflect the spirit of goodwill and collective service while addressing key areas of national development. According to the statement, the initiatives include health insurance coverage for 1,000 beneficiaries, donation of essential medication to sickle cell patients through partnerships with Crimson Bow and Genotype Foundation, and the distribution of 200 laptops to public schools across the country.
A representative of the Noella Foundation described the upcoming projects as a “celebration of purpose that extends beyond personal milestones into meaningful impact.” The representative added, “Marking Seyi Tinubu’s 40th birthday through initiatives that empower communities and support vulnerable groups reflects the values he embodies; empathy, service, shared responsibility, and collective responsibility. This celebration is powered by friends and well-wishers who have come together under the Noella Foundation to make a difference when and where it matters most.”
The Foundation explained that the healthcare initiative would provide free medical insurance for 1,000 Nigerians, giving priority to pregnant women and individuals living with sickle cell disorder. It also noted that essential medications would be distributed through two established non-governmental organisations to ensure that support reaches those in need efficiently and transparently.
On education, the Foundation stated that 200 state-of-the-art laptops would be distributed to public junior and senior secondary schools. This effort, it said, is aimed at improving digital literacy, enhancing learning outcomes, and preparing students to compete effectively in a rapidly evolving global economy.
In addition to the laptop donation, the Foundation will organise a capacity-building digital training programme for 40 young Nigerians in specialised areas such as software engineering, data analytics, cloud computing, and product design. This, according to the Foundation, is part of its effort to equip young people with relevant skills for the modern job market and the tech-driven economy.
The entrepreneurship pillar of the programme will see the distribution of 40 SME Empowerment Kiosks across different regions of the country. The Foundation said this initiative is meant to support small business owners, promote entrepreneurship, and stimulate local economic growth.
“Through these acts of service, the Foundation reinforces its long-standing focus on empowering youth, supporting vulnerable populations, and fostering equitable access to education and healthcare. This milestone is a reminder that leadership is best measured by the lives we touch,” the Foundation stated.
