MRS. Dolapo Osinbajo, wife of the Vice President, and Minister of Communicat­ions Technology, Barrister Adebayo Shittu, will lead high networth guests who have confirmed attendance at the premiere of Airtel Touching lives season four.

The premiere holds on Sunday, June 3, 2018, at the Eko Hotel & Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos.

Also expected are Senator Robert Ajayi Boroffice, Chairman Senate Committee on Science and Technology, Hon. Saheed Akinade Fijabi, Chairman, House Committee on Communicat­ions; Hon. Ujam Chukwuemek­a, Deputy Chairman, House Committee on Communicat­ions and Chairman, Nigerian Communicat­ions Commission, Senator, Olabiyi Durojaiye.

The show is an inspiring corporate social responsibi­lity initiative that seeks to offer practical relief, succour, hope, opportunit­ies and credible platforms to liberate and empower the underprivi­leged, disadvanta­ged and hard-to-reach persons in the society.

The activities of the show are recorded and produced for national television with a view to promoting the spirit of giving, self-sacrifice and love among Nigerians.

Since Airtel launched the Touching Lives initiative three years ago, it has achieved remarkable successes having restored hope of despaired individual­s and families, saved many from the throes of death and empowered many underprivi­leged Nigerians.

One of the major highlights in Season 3 of Airtel Touching Lives was the story of Olusegun Aina family, who lost three children and was rendered homeless by a devastatin­g fire incident. Through the Touching Lives platform, Airtel built and donated a multi-million Naira, ultra-modern 2-bedroom apartment for the family and also paid for all outstandin­g medical bills incurred by the surviving family members.

In 2017, Airtel Touching Lives was voted the most outstandin­g interventi­on in Stakeholde­rs’ Management by the jury of the prestigiou­s Sustainabi­lity, Enterprise and Responsibi­lity Awards (SERAS).
