Gov Abdulrazaq Brings Joy to Special Needs Children and Juvenile Inmates at New Year Funfair
In a gesture that aligns with his signature care for the underprivileged, Kwara State Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq attended a New Year funfair on Friday for adopted and special needs children and inmates of the Juvenile Correctional Home.
The Governor danced and took pictures with the children and their caregivers, and later joined them in cutting the cake to celebrate the new calendar. The event was organized by the state administration to bring joy and support to the children and young inmates.
The programme was organised by the Kwara State Ministry of Social Development and was attended by several government officials and senior civil servants, including the host Commissioner Olaitan Abosede Buraimoh; Commissioner for Planning and Economic Development Aliyu Kora Sabi; Special Adviser on Special Duties Abdulrazhaq Jiddah; and Permanent Secretary Ministry of Social Development Peter Kayode Ayanwale.
The event featured musicals and games such as first-to-sit contests, headgear -tying skills, balloon blowing, and dance games. Winners from each session of the games went home with prizes.
“We have come to celebrate the children with various challenges. It is also to encourage and support the caregivers,” the Governor told reporters on the sideline of the event in Ilorin.
Buraimo said the programme was organised to underscore the affection of the Governor for the children living with disabilities as well as cheer up those in juvenile homes as a form of inclusion.
She thanked the Governor for the approval of the celebration and his presence, saying this is another evidence that AbdulRazaq is child-friendly.
The Commissioner also appreciated the Governor's support for the Ministry to perform its statutory functions effectively.
Ayanwale, who is visually impaired, said they were not surprised with the Governor's active participation, given his passion for children with special needs.
"This is another good example that can be learnt from His Excellency," he said.
