The Baale of Ayetoro Mupin Aduran community in Ota, Ogun State, Chief Kazeem Ayinla Olaonipekun, on Saturday, said that the community conferred the chieftaincy title of Amuludun of Ayetoro Mupin Aduran on Mr. Sanjay Kumar Jah due to his contribution towards the development of the community.
Speaking during the chieftaincy title conferment ceremony, Chief Olaonipekun explained that aside from numerous support towards the needy through his foundation, Narayan Charity Foundation, Mr. Jah has also helped in grading and repairing many streets in the community.
“Since Sanjay Kumar Jah came to Nigeria in 2010, he has always been involved in developmental projects in his host community.
“In our community, he has supported the old and needy with financial assistance. He supports schools in our community with books and stationary supports.
“After appraising all his efforts, we decided to confer this chieftaincy title to encourage him to do more,” the Baale said.
In his thank-you message, Mr. Jah promised not to relent in his philanthropic gesture.

“In 2019, I established my company, Narayan Charity Foundation and we have supported the sick who could not afford drugs.
“We have shared foods, and supported schools with books and stationery. We have helped to rehabilitate roads in Ayetoro Mupin Aduran community in Ota.
“We also do a ‘Food for Life’ campaign targeting orphanages and providing work skills for young adults like information technology skills, among others.”
