The impetus for Banjo to join GHIA as Patron came from the loss of
his sister at the age of 50 to Stage IV breast cancer due to lack of
education and awareness on early detection and treatment. Banjo
will support GHIA’s efforts to raise funds from associates and NGO
funding organizations to help in achieving the goals of better health
for African women. Banjo has been involved in other religious
charities.
Banjo is married to Dr (Mrs) Adeola Adeleke and blessed with two
daughters and a son.
