BENEVOLENCE AT ITS PEAK!

Share

Dr Akintoye Akindele, CFA DBA FICA, Executive Chairman and board member of various other thriving companies including Platform Capital Investment whom one of his philanthropic acts was the refurbishing of the Faculty of Science at Obafemi Awolowo University making them more conducive to receive lectures, for reading and also for taking pictures.
Another of his benevolence act was posted recently by an alumnus of the university, Oluwatosin Omisakin, who took to his LinkedIn account to narrate his life changing experience with the philanthropist. More details from his account are below:

“Today in church I shared the testimony of how meeting Dr Akintoye Akindele, CFA, DBA FICA changed my life.
On the 11th of January 2022, the Grace of God found me!
I was at Obafemi Awolowo University, my alma mater for my clearance, not knowing that God had a plan to bless me.
After library clearance, I went to Fajuyi hall for hostel clearance. It was less than 5mins that I got to Fajuyi hall when I saw an unusual convoy at the car park.
Surprisingly, I easily recognized Dr Akindele, a business leader and great philanthropist I was following on LinkedIn.
I couldn’t control the excitement I alerted; “Platform Capital!”. Being a humble chairman, he invited me to come. I was surprised and so happy to introduce myself as his LinkedIn follower and a recent graduate looking for an opportunity to work in finance.
He said to me right before my Vice-Chancellor, “come and resume tomorrow”. Immediately I was asked to join the team for a tour around the campus. I was like “God, just like that!”
I was so excited and very challenged by Dr Akindele’s selflessness!
Following his speech at Obafemi Awolowo University, where he emphasized that “the receiver is the one doing the giver a favour to be a part of their blessing” I have never heard that from a prospective before!
So, I went to learn about his motivation to give so much. I found out that Dr Akindele is not only a big philanthropist but burdened and always giving towards better education, global entrepreneurship and equal opportunities in Africa.
My chairman is equally an unorthodox finance expert, teacher and unbeatable entrepreneur transforming African businesses into global enterprises, not even one at a time, many globally.
God bless Dr Akindele and his family, and my LinkedIn church says Amen!!!

See where OAU students are taking their best pictures now, Dr Akindele, CFA DBA FICA and Platform Capital Investment Partners made it happen

This is one of the many unsaid benevolence acts of Dr Akindele! Do good it pays, this is a good example to everyone out there.
