The Ekiti State Governor, Biodun Oyebanji has urged friends, associates and the general public to make donations to designated special schools rather than organise any birthday party or newspaper advertisement in commemoration of his 57th birthday billed for December 21, 2024.
He has urged them to instead of advertisement placements, gifts or social gatherings to celebrate with him, make cash or material donations to the less privileged children in the state.
The Governor has specifically requested that gifts and cash be sent to the three Government Special Schools in the state vis: Government Special School for the Deaf, Ikoro-Ekiti; Government Special School for the Blind, Ikere-Ekiti; Government Special School for the Mentally and Physically Challenged, Ido-Ekiti, as well as the State Relief and Rehabilitation Centre for the Mentally Challenged in Ado-Ekiti.
According to a statement by his Special Adviser on Media, Yinka Oyebode in Ado-Ekiti on Thursday, Governor Oyebanji said financial and material gifts sent to these schools by his friends and well-wishers would be better appreciated, adding that deliberate efforts should be made at reaching out to the less privileged in the society at any given opportunity.
The Governor said he was happy at the number of family members, friends and associates that presented gifts to the special schools in commemoration of his birthday last year, and the joy the gestures brought to the faces of the students.
Oyebanji said he would be happy if his friends and well-wishers would join him again this year to put smiles on the faces of the students with disabilities.
According to the statement, details of the donation accounts of the schools are: “Disability Affairs Office Overhead
