Speaking about the fund, Osodeke said, “Definitely let take you to have a house and your children are sick, your child is sick seriously and you are paid money that you are not expecting. Where will you put the money?

That child should be the first thing you will treat, is it not? Before you start thinking about how to buy clothes.

“Your universities are shut for six months, and the funds you were not expecting came. Where should you really, if you love education, put the money? That’s what happened. You have seen it yourself. And you’re saying we don’t have money. What are you saying? We need to love this country.”
