According to Falaiye, who is a degree holder in commercial law from the University of Lagos, the focus for this year's Charity Golf Tournament is to raise funds to win the fight against the dreaded cancer disease.
Over 100 golfers from various notable golf clubs across the nation took part in the unique tournament played on the lush-green course of the prestigious Ikeja Golf Club, Lagos this weekend.
The legal practitioner who is the founder of “For the Love of Golf” group and a strong member of Ikeja Golf Club, said her commitment to life changing drive with people of same passion gave her the drive to organise the charity tournament which geared towards catering for the needs of the less privileged.
“The resident doctor of the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Dr. Roland Osuoji, in consultation with the pediatric ward of the hospital, said they are in need of chemotherapeutic agents, Vincristine, Actinomycin D, Doxorubucin, Cisplatin, Bleomycin Cyclophosphamide.

Mrs. Falaiye, the deputy managing director and secretary of Afkar Printing and Publishing Company, who is also a passionate golfer and humanitarian, said the Charity Golf Tournament will address other salient medical issues next year when the tournament takes place.
A 12-man committee and three trustee members comprising sound minds from various professions have been working assiduously over the years with the visioner to actualize the lofty project.
