Unknown to many, while the oil and gas top player continues to offer scholarships to students in tertiary institutions across the country, his wife also finds joy in defending sexually abused children in Nigeria. In her quest to realise her dream, Bola , who also holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Economic and Social Studies from the University of Manchester, United Kingdom, has undertaken training in the Prevention of Child Sexual Abuse and the Counselling of victims, as well as Child Protection.
