About 167 Non- Governmental Organizations, Orphanages and Children homes collaborating with the Oyo State government have benefited from a special subvention of #11.5million designed to give relief to the bodies for their dedication in reaching out to the vulnerable people in the society.

Presenting the cash subvention to the beneficiaries at the Conference room of the Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Inclusion, the Oyo State Governor, Engr Seyi Makinde who was represented by the Secretary to the State Government, Mrs Olubamiwo Adeosun said the subvention was targeted at giving relief and support for the smooth running of the organizations in order to give the less privileged persons a sense of belonging as well as encourage stakeholders to further complement the efforts of the State government.

“I am reliably informed that these organizations have been rendering prompt and adequate selfless services through complementary roles in evacuation of destitute, street children, beggars, mentally ill persons, survivors of rape, battered women, abused children, persons with disabilities and aged, so what we have done today is to show support to them by giving them the grant that will help them in the work of partnership they do with us”
