One of the hallmarks of truly successful people is their desire to lift others up.

Asked why The Tayo Onilogbo Foundation has constrained its activities to the Ijebu axis of Ogun state, the visioner- Astrax Auto Boss ,Tayo Onilogbo explained that he is convinced that charity must begin at home. As a son of the soil, his success must affect his immediate community directly.
