Introduction
The Olatunji Okusanya Memorial Foundation is born out of the need to preserve the charitable legacies of the late Mr Olatunji Adedeji Okusanya (Tunji Snr) and late Mr Olatunji Abimbola Okusanya (Tunji Jnr) both directors of MIC Royal Ltd who sadly died in the ill-fated Associated Airline plane crash on the 3rd October 2013 in Lagos while on a funeral undertaking assignment.
Their lives epitomized selfless service, giving, sacrifice and excellence as demonstrated in their service to humanity. The impact they had are well known and applauded internationally.
The large volume and depth of tributes we have received from all over the world are a testimony affirming this. Their unusual personalities, poise and passion for charity are noble and laudable, being a source of encouragement to many.
The Olatunji Okusanya Memorial Foundation will strengthen and support the ongoing and pending charitable deeds of Tunji Snr and Jnr being established to advance these causes within a more robust structure.
The foundation operates in conjunction with LTJ Funerals International who provide innovative funeral services that honor the life of the departed while serving families with excellence, compassion, integrity and dignity across Nigeria and beyond.
Our Goal
Empowering the poor, the vulnerable and less privileged for the purpose of alleviating poverty and promoting human dignity even in death.
Administration
From the Corporate premises of the LTJ Funerals International at 240 Muritala Muhammed Way, Yaba Lagos, Nigeria, all operations shall be coordinated and delivered.
Volunteer
We would require the support of dedicated volunteers. As the need arises, we would be establishing a volunteer corps that would be readily available to provide support to our trustees in the regions we serve in.
