Chess Master Tunde Onakoya Sets The Record Straight On Philanthropy Claims.

The chess master emphasized that his work is focused on giving children a fighting chance, regardless of their background. He expressed concern about the growing divisions in society and the need for unity in addressing the needs of vulnerable children.
Onakoya highlighted his humanitarian work in IDP camps in Maiduguri and Yola, as well as education projects across Nigeria and Africa. He stressed that his mission is to stand in the gap for children and be a voice for those in need, without regard to tribe or ethnicity.
The chess master concluded by affirming his commitment to helping every child, regardless of their background, and emphasized the importance of unity in achieving this goal. Onakoya’s statement serves as a reminder of the need for collective action in addressing the challenges faced by vulnerable children in society.
