"We used the opportunity to deliver the hotel wears donated by Omo Ijesha and Olarewaju Gbangbala to all pupils living in the Hostel, endless appreciation.
"We used the same opportunity to deliver the school uniforms sponsored by T.A. the first set had been delivered and the remaining ones are delivered today.
"So also, all 4 elderly men and women who are blind are paid their N5,000 stipends.
