CBN gives succour to the disabled
The branch controller of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Ilorin Mr. Onoriode Monday Olotewo, led his staff to donate fourteen wheel chairs to the disabled in Tunde and Friends Foundation and Hope Orphanage Foundation both in the outskirts of Ilorin to make life more comfortable for them.
Presenting the items to the beneficiaries, Olotewo said the gesture was part of the social responsibility of the apex bank in giving back to the host community.
According to him, the items were bought from donations from the staff and given to people irrespective of where they come from.
He advised the National Assembly to enact a Disability Law that will cater for the needs of disabled in the country and encourage others to do what the CBN is doing for its immediate community.
