Music producer, Babatunde Okungbowa, popularly known as OJB Jezreel, has teamed up with The Bowtie Club with support from some well-meaning institutions to launch a Kidney Trust Fund with the sole aim of raising funds towards assisting those suffering from kidney problems who want to get treatment abroad.
NET gathered that the initiative is aiming to raise over N200m solely for the purpose of providing medical succour to Nigerians who are suffering from kidney ailments.
The OJB Foundation will provide patients with help with a 5-year projection in which the initiative is believed to be in a position to build a local facility with up to date modern equipment to render transplant and other associated services to Nigerians according to acceptable international standards.
It would be recalled that back in 2013, OJB Jezreel suffered from a severe kidney failure and got support which enabled him travel to India for a kidney transplant.
