Osun State governor, Adegboyega Oyetola has come out to assure persons living with disabilities in the state that he’ll keep protecting them.

He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, an executive bill tagged ‘Special People’s Bill’ meant to cater for their welfare is already receiving attention from the government.

He added that he’ll ensure persons with disabilities remain safeguarded against all forms of discrimination.

His words, “Part of their social intervention programmes include survival loan; Covid-19 palliatives; special grant transfer programme under YESSO from World Bank in collaboration with the State Government.”

“Also over 300 persons with disabilities are benefiting from the N10,000 monthly grant of the state government’s “Gbowo Ga” scheme for empowerment. You can be rest assured that I will continue to protect your welfare and interest in further unfolding opportunities.”
