Obaseki: Send all birthday gifts meant for me to children with disabilities

Godwin Obaseki, governor of Edo state, has urged the people planning to give him gifts for his 66th birthday, to send them to children with disabilities. 

The governor whose birthday is on July 1, said all the donations and gifts should be sent to the Roseluyi Exceptional Students Academy for children with special needs in the state.

Crusoe Osagie,  special adviser on media to Obaseki, quoted the governor as saying that he is more concerned with offering assistance to the people that are likely to be affected by hardship in the society.

“With a heart for every children’s development, governor Obaseki wishes to contribute to the success of the Roseluyi Exceptional Students Academy which has demonstrated excellent capacity in the development of children with special needs,” Osagie said in a statement.

“The governor thanks all Nigerians, particularly the good people of Edo state, for their kind wishes and urges all to participate in this unique celebration to honour the children with special needs in the state.”
