She said, “When I got the information that a family of four at Oyate, Oro Ago are living disability, I requested to see them.”
She continued, “Shola (one of the children) got across to me and when I saw his condition, I felt an instant need to assist them. After personal consultation with different people and even several announcement on radio programmes, people called to confirm the veracity of the story but no assist was forthcoming, so I took to the social media where the Igbomina Project North America found it and showed positive gesticulation towards the project”
“During my interrogation with them then, they insisted that they didn’t want to beg but work. Consequently, we have about 11 points agenda to support them.” She added.
