Data collection on orphans and widows in Ekiti state is ongoing to ascertain their areas of needs for necessary attentions.
Wife of Ekiti State Governor Dr Olayemi Oyebanji stated this in Ado Ekiti while receiving Tokunbo Ajila Jakande Children’s Foundation.
She explained that the effort of data collection was part of her pet project saying that such would ensure that those affected would be properly engaged to know what exactly they need for their businesses and upkeep.
The Governor’s wife noted that some of the projects had been institutionalized before the commencement of the present administration, hence it would be sustained through the concerted efforts of all stakeholders.
The First lady appealed to wealthy Nigerians to assist the less previleged no matter how little.
