Oyo Govt Donate Car to Physically-Challenged LGA Director

The Oyo state government has donated an automatic transmission car to the Acting Director, Education and Social Services, Mr Dauda Adeagbo. The acting director, who is physically challenged, had been having issues getting around and the specially designed vehicle will make it easier for him to move around.

Presenting the vehicle to the recipient on behalf of the State Governor on Monday at the Ministry Car Park, the Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Matters, Chief Bayo Lawal, said the event was in continuation of the delivery of relief items to people with special needs in the State, as promised by Governor Seyi Makinde during the electioneering period.

While rejoicing with the recipient who works at Ifeloju Local Council Development Area (LCDA) Oke-Ogun, the commissioner also revealed that the governor has long been a philanthropist, adding that the gesture will soon be replicated in all LGAs and LCDAs across the state.
