The City Boy Movement in Oyo State has distributed mobility aids to more than 300 persons with disabilities in Igboora, the headquarters of Ibarapa Central Local Government Area, reaffirming its commitment to promoting inclusion and improving the welfare of vulnerable Nigerians.
Speaking at the event, held at the Community Hall in Igboora, on Saturday, the state Director-General of the movement, Olufemi Onireti, said the initiative was part of the group’s ongoing humanitarian interventions aimed at supporting underserved communities across the state.
He said, “The organisation had previously carried out similar programmes in Ogbomoso and would soon extend the intervention to other zones, including Oke-Ogun and Ibadan, to ensure that more persons with disabilities benefit from the scheme.
We are here to provide mobility support for our special people in Ibarapa. This is one of several community interventions we have embarked upon, but this programme is unique because it focuses on persons with disabilities. We have done something similar in Ogbomoso and will continue the outreach across other parts of Oyo.”
