Philanthropist Engr. Bayo Ajayi Donates 1,000 Customized Exercise Books for Children with Disabilities in Ekiti State.
Prominent philanthropist and politician, Engr. Bayo Ajayi, donated 1,000 specially designed exercise books to support children with disabilities in Ekiti State during an event in Ado Ekiti. This initiative underscores the importance of tailored educational resources for inclusive learning, aligning with Governor Biodun Oyebanji's efforts to enhance the well-being of Persons with Disabilities (PWDs).
Ajayi’s donation reflects his commitment to annual support for the Ekiti State Children’s Therapy Centre and is a fulfillment of last year's promise to assist PWDs in the region. The uniquely designed exercise books accommodate the specific needs of these children, promoting inclusivity in education.
Princess Adetoun Agboola, Special Adviser on Special Education and Social Inclusion, commended the gesture, highlighting it as “a testament to the care and specificity required when addressing the needs of these remarkable children.”
In his speech, Ajayi emphasized the importance of investing in underserved communities, stating, “Nation-building goes beyond physical infrastructure; it’s about empowering people, especially those often overlooked.” He called on citizens to rally together in support of the governor’s vision for a more inclusive Ekiti.
Inclusion is expensive, but the Government of Ekiti State is doing much. However, other well-meaning members of the community are encouraged to support these initiatives through their donations and advocacy.
