About OAF

Who we are?

The Oluwarotimi Akeredolu Foundation is a non-profit organization established by the late Governor of Ondo State, Rotimi Akeredolu SAN, CON, who passed away in 2023 after a courageous battle with cancer. He was a visionary leader, a distinguished lawyer, and a passionate advocate for democracy, human rights, and development. He served Ondo State and Nigeria with bravery, doggedness, and integrity, leaving behind a legacy of achievements and reforms that improved the lives of millions of people.

The Oluwarotimi Akeredolu Foundation aims to honor his memory and continue his mission by supporting initiatives that promote health, education, justice, and innovation in Nigeria. We believe that every Nigerian deserves the opportunity to lead a healthy, productive, and dignified life, and that by fostering creative thinking and collaboration, we can find innovative solutions to the challenges facing our nation.
