Oyetola Reaches Out To The Elderly And The Widows

Osun First Lady and President Ilerioluwa Development Initiative, Mrs Kafayat Oyetola has again moved to enhance living for the elderly women and widows in the State.
Mrs Oyetola, who has been hyperactive in humanitarian gestures even before her husband became Governor in 2018, organized a nutritional and living-material outreach program for the aged women and widows in the State Tuesday.

The program, held at the premises of St Peters Primary School in Iragbiji, a city, 20 minutes drive away from Osogbo, the State Capital, drew not less than 250 beneficiaries.
Speaking at the event, Mrs Oyetola stated that the intervention was part of targeted programs to keep having direct interface with the elderly and aged widows in the State.
She also added that since the inauguration of her NGO (IleriOluwa Development Initiative), she had constantly made the care and succor for aged women a priority item of program intervention.

She pointed out that the elderly people in the society had crucial role to play helping to foster the culture of the society in the younger ones.
The IOD-Initiative President added that since the social security system in Nigeria was yet to be fully developed to give comfort to our aged especially in the rural sub-urban communities, capable stakeholders should step up to ensure a better life for our aged people.

She therefore pleaded with the aged population to re-intensify the roles played in years past by molding the attitude of our young ones.
Materials given out to the beneficiaries included food items, clothes and daily living enablers
