No fewer than one hundred people, including persons with disabilities, have benefited from a humanitarian outreach by the Wife of Osun State Governor, Erelu Ngozi Adeleke.

The initiative, held at the Government House in  Osogbo, the state capital is part of the ongoing efforts of her foundation to support the well-being of less privileged and vulnerable citizens across the state.

The empowerment program brought together groups of persons with disabilities and vulnerable citizens across the state.

Beneficiaries received food items such as rice, spaghetti, beans, beverages, coconut oil, palm oil, garri, and other essentials, as the wife of the governor reaffirmed her commitment to inclusive support and social welfare.

The Wife of the Governor, Ambassador Erelu Ngozi Adeleke, stated that the motive behind the initiative is to provide support for the needy, the less privileged, and motherless babies, emphasizing her commitment to uplifting vulnerables.

"The empowerment Yes! as God leads me to do. It gives me joy, it gives me happiness to touch lives, provide for the needy, provide for the less privileged, provide for the motherless babies, and join together the triplets I have.

Like today's program, I saw the triplets parents were here to partake in what I'm sharing.

"What gives me joy, what gives me peace, what give me happiness is seeing them going home smiling, the way this group are smiling home today with the little little things; I and Coco Adeleke Foundation have provided for them today, it gives me extra joy, it gives me happiness when people see me Abroad and say keep up the good work we are seeing what you are doing and a whole lot of people come with one award or the other saying thank you for what you have done for humanity, thank you for touching the lives of these less privileged we are seeing you, we feel you, it gives me extra ordinary happiness to see that people are being happy.

"My program, the little things I have done here and there put smiles on the faces of the people, put joy in some people's family and well meaning Nigerians love it! When you are doing something and people are saying Kudos! It's kind of ginger for you to do more. "

"The Voice of the people is the voice of God", the less privileges that I have been touching their lives one way or the other even the one am paying their school fees without showcasing it or hospital bills, they have being praying and all fires prayers for me and my family always and whenever they have opportunity of meeting me one on one, they always come to say thank you ma" Ambassador Ngozi said.

"Humanitarian job for me is the job of God Almighty."

"My message for the youths and the vulnerable, the Yoruba will say "Ni suru" they should be calming down, keep believing God, look unto God definitely, help will come. It's only the living that would live to see the help. Anyone thinking, get depressed, one problem or the other, God forbid bad thing, they will not live to see good thing coming from "IMOLE GOVERNMENT" because there is still a lot coming from my office as a wife of the governor, my NGO Esther Adeleke Foundation, my Cocoa Foundation and so many Adeleke Foundation"
