LASU student honoured with Hesselbein fellow award in US

Pelumi Olugbenga, a 300-level student of Lagos State University (LASU), has been honoured as a Fellow, Hesselbein Global Academy of University of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, US.

LASU revealed in a statement on Wednesday that the fellowship was conferred on Olugbenga after a five-day summit on ‘Student Leadership and Civic Engagement’ organised by the US varsity.

NAN reports that the student had earlier been named one of the five Africans to participate in the 2017 Hesselbein global leadership summit.

To be selected as a Hesselbein international scholar, the students went through rigorous processes that included the submission of a curriculum vitae and personal essays on challenges and achievements as a student leader.

Also, individual thoughts on leadership approaches and policies that can bring changes and innovative ideas on global development issues, community service, among others were also considered.

The five-day summit ended with the presentation of awards on July, 25.

According to LASU, Olugbenga earned the honour upon the completion of his assignments and projects at the academy and was decorated with a medal by the University of Pittsburgh.

The award was presented by Patrick Gallagher, the vice-chancellor, University of Pittsburgh.

Oluwagbenga, while in the academy, worked with Rise Against Hunger, a non-governmental organisation (NGO) based in New York.

According to the statement, the group is saddled with packaging thousands of meals to feed over 10,000 less privileged children across the world.

“In carrying out his civic engagement, Olugbenga worked with four other Hesselbein Fellows from other countries at the American Red Cross, Western Pennsylvania.

“They presented ideas that would help the American Red Cross go viral and be more effective in its operations.”

Meanwhile, Olanrewaju Fagbohun, vice-chancellor of LASU, has congratulated Olugbenga and wished him all the best in his future endeavours.

"A GAPS Inspired Nutrition Guide" By Tolu Olumide | fab.ng

Tolu Olumide, a young and inspiring business leader under 40, has written a new book. The book is titled “A GAPS Inspired Nutrition Guide“. Tolu is the cousin to Familusi Akin Babajide., CEO at UNDER40CEOs.

The book was launched at a special event and FAB.NG, a Nigerian media company, was there to see it happen live.

This book, “A GAPS Inspired Nutrition Guide” is essential for several reasons.

First, it takes a complete approach to health. It gives practical advice about food and nutrition. This advice can help manage and maybe even improve the health and behaviour of people with certain conditions. These conditions include autism, ADHD, ADD, dyslexia, and allergies. It also covers other conditions that affect how people develop.

Second, the book is full of useful information. It shares ideas that are based on scientific evidence. This makes it a valuable resource for many people. Parents can use it to help their children. Caregivers can use it to support better the people they look after. Professionals who work with people who have these conditions can also learn a lot from this book.

Third, the book gives power to families. It provides clear steps that families can take. These steps can help create a healthier home environment. This environment can better support family members who have these conditions.

On sharing this information on his social media, Familusi expressed how very proud he is of Tolu. His caption read,

Familusi believes the book is something everyone should read.

He thinks it will be especially helpful for people who care for individuals with autism, ADHD, ADD, dyslexia, allergies, or other similar conditions.

At the end of the post, Familusi reiterated his pride in his cousin by saying, “Congratulations on this incredible achievement Tolu!’

Tolu has achieved something amazing by writing this book. It shows her dedication to helping others. She has used her knowledge and experience to create a resource that can make a real difference in people’s lives.

The launch of the book was a special moment. It was a chance to celebrate Tolu’s hard work and the potential impact of her book. Having FAB.NG there to witness the event adds to its significance. It shows that the book launch was an important event that attracted media attention.

Nigerian singer Davido has always cultivated a culture of sharing is caring in all aspects of his life.


The Nigerian star Davido shares his heart equally with three women: two baby mamas who gave birth to his daughters and his girlfriend Chioma.
And that is not enough. The musician has always been praised for always helping the people around him despite their status in the community.

Now, the 26-year-old father of two has caused a stir on Twitter after casually saying his watchman owns two houses and three cars.

Yes, as you struggle to at least get free rides on Mr sponsor’s car, Davido is busy elevating his employees.
It all started when a tweep named Obong Roviel shared his excitement over news that the musician was working with upcoming act, Lyta.

Obong praised Davido for always supporting everyone who approaches him either in terms of growing their music brand or elevating their businesses.
A proud and happy Davido then said on top of helping Lyta, he has made sure his watchman has cars and houses.

Scrolling through the comment section, nearly everyone agreed with Obong and echoed his sentiments.

Despite the singer being riddled with controversy in the past, he has managed to show he has a heart of gold.
