The initiative, anchored by the SSA Governor’s Office, Mrs Sola Abe, aims to alleviate the burdens of the less privileged and provide hope to the downtrodden in the state.
Financial support was provided to students who were unable to pay their tuition fees and vulnerable people facing financial difficulties with medical expenses.
Also, wheelchairs were given to physically challenged persons to improve their mobility.
The intervention was one of many initiatives of Governor Oyebanji to provide succor to the needy in times of distress.
The beneficiaries expressed deep gratitude to the Governor for his act of benevolence, kindness and compassion for vulnerable citizens.
The Director-General, Office of Community Communications, Mrs Mary Oso-Omotosho, emphasized that Governor Oyebanji is the type of leader who would give up his own comfort for the poor masses to enjoy.
