Dikko, Keyamo, Dabiri-Erewa, Others  Honour Aisha Falode at Launch of Tyler Fray Foundation

The Tyler Fray Foundation, an initiative of a board member of the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF), Ms Aisha Falode, was launched on Monday at the Civic Centre,  Victoria Island Lagos.

The groundbreaking initiative represents a significant step in empowering the nation’s youth to achieve their dreams and establish careers in the music industry. 

The programme, officially launched at the Civic Centre in Lagos,  was attended by an array of prominent personalities from the world of sports, music,  governance, and business. 

The event served as a rallying point for influential figures to endorse the foundation’s mission and celebrate its bold vision. 

The foundation is firmly rooted in the passion and what Tyler stood for; to encourage music and education for talents who do not have the financial means to pursue and make their dream a reality. 

He was passionate about giving back and touching lives.

Emmanuel Adejoh, Moses Ajetomobi, John Chima, and two others are the first set of students to benefit from the Tyler Fray Foundation. 

Two will go for Advanced Diploma while the rest will pursue diploma courses.

Chairman of the Nigerian Sports Commission, Mallam Shehu Dikko,  who was amongst distinguished guests at the event, delivered a keynote address.

Other notable figures at the ceremony include; Chairperson of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, Abike Dabiri-Erewa and the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo (SAN) were both represented, signaling the federal government’s  endorsement of the foundation.

Publisher  of Ovation Magazine,  Otunba Dele Momodu; Chairman/CEO of Brila FM, Dr Larry Izamoje, Media Entrepreneur, Kadaria Ahmed,  and a host of notable Nigerians reflected the widespread admiration and endorsement the initiative has garnered. 

The scholarship offers recipients mentorship,  access to industry networks, and opportunities to showcase their talents on prominent platforms with the aim of nurturing growth and confidence required to succeed in the music industry.

The scholarship programme is rooted in the legacy of Oloruntoba Oluwadamilola Falode,  fondly remembered as Tyler Fray.  Tyler, the beloved son of Aisha Falode was tragically killed when his music career was about to take off.
