On the 17th of April, 2017 Ideal Forum Foundation initiatives held her first Public Presentation and Lecture with the theme: Sacrificing for Humanity inside Felicia Hall, Jorgor Liberty Road Ibadan .
Here some widows, physically challenged set of people and the less-privileged were given some food items and financial assistance.
The visioner; Alhaja/ Mrs Aminat Adebayo Shittu in her speech stressed the reason why she thought it right to come up with such laudable idea of establishing this foundation, in order to help and extend the hands of assistance in various ways to those who are in the society but greatly needed to be helped, so as to alleviate their state of suffering.
She reiterated that her passion to help people of indigent background whose needs are many but are unable to get them because of lack of financial capability, had been bottled in her mind until she cannot withstand it hence she needed to start off as scheduled, promising that with God always being with her and ably assisting her while her husband ; the honourable Minister of Communication Barrister Bayo Shittu solidly behind her, she would not relent to keep on doing the best God had sent her to do for mankind.
A one-time Chairman of First Bank Chief/ Prince Ajibola Afonja, who was there at the occasion implored the government at the three tiers to make sure they come to the rescue of several Nigerians wallowing in poverty, who are greatly and presently suffering under the government of President Muhammed Buhari of APC.
This the Oyo Prince Ajibola Afonja further expatiated that with the present Hardship in the country many people have been beaten to the wall and thus being helpless to know what to do , to bail themselves out from the sordid experience, with many going to the extreme in abandoning families to commit suicide and also do the worst not expected of a normal and sensible person.
He affirmed the fact that Nigeria is a blessed country where nobody supposed to complain of unemployment, with the ample opportunities , resources and values from both the natural and human endowment but defended the fact that provided President Muhammed Buhari sees the opportunity to operate under an enabling environment with other public functionaries and those in the corridor of power giving him adequate cooperation he is certainly sure he would take Nigeria and the Nigerians to the promised land.
However, he corroborated his statement with giving admonition as preached from both holy books; bible and Quran that "no condition is permanent and that nobody brings anything to the world and nobody will take anything back afterwards, hence those in the corridor of power should stand up to their various responsibilities in helping the teachers, workers in the public sectors by paying their dues as at when due while they should also do something to bail the numerous Nigerians suffering from the hardship because in the last day of judgement with God evrybody will give the account of his or her stewardship on earth.
His Royal Highness Oba Jamiu Adedamola Badmus Oluasoko of Iberekodo , Ibarapa Central Local Government , Igbo Ora who was also prsent at the occasion described the present situation as what everybody is directly responsible to contribute their quota in helping to bail the country out from.
He defended the present government as been up and doing to bring solution yet wanted the people to endure , with the government and praying and hoping that this nation and citizenry arrive at her promised land.
He commended the visioner; Alhaja/ Mrs Aminat who had come up with such good initiative to helping the less-privileged, believing nobody can give a good advice like that which would be successful as the one initiated by the visioner defending that her not doing such foundation does not reduce her status as the wife of the honourable Minister for Communication.
Nonetheless he prayed that the relationship the visioner had with God to have initiated such laudable idea be not severed , for more successes and succour to come from her initiative for the benefit of humanity.
