Amobode’s Wife Makes Case for Less Privileged

Wife of Governor of Lagos State, Mrs. Bolanle Ambode, has harped on the need for Nigerians to show care, love and share goodwill with special children beyond the yuletide season even as he disclosed that the Lagos State Government was committed to providing facilities for children, especially special children due to their peculiarities.

Mrs. Ambode stated this in her remarks as special guest of honour at the 16th edition of the annual Development Africa organised Christmas Party hosted for special children drawn from different orphanages and care homes in Lagos state.

In her address at the event, Mrs. Ambode, who was represented by Mrs. Jumoke Bank-Olemoh, noted that the essence of the yuletide was “to show care, share love and put smiles on people’s faces, especially the less privileged ones. This is exactly what we’re doing here for these children.

“The administration of His Excellency, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, Governor of Lagos State, is committed to providing for all our children, in particular our special children. “A lesson for us all to learn is that for as long as we live, we must continually glorify God for his infinite mercies upon us and our loved ones. If not for God, what would our story be?

“I therefore commend Development Africa (DA), especially Mr. Joshua Kempeneer, Country Director, and his staff, for ensuring the success of this annual event over the years, God will always strengthen you” she stated.

The party was organised by an international non-Governmental Organisation and sponsored by KPMG professional services limited, Dredging International Services among other corporate sponsors.
