Nigeria's Vice President, Professor Yemi Osibanjo

Nigeria’s Vice President, Professor Yemi Osibanjo has called on well-meaning Nigerians to join hands with the government to provide adequate care for homeless children saying government alone cannot do it.

According to him, the provision of adequate welfare for vulnerable women and Children in the Society should be collectively shouldered by government and spirited individuals.

Making this known at the inauguration of an Orphanage in the Ondo state capital, the Vice President added that 90 per cent of Nigerian children are homeless; a figure that seems to be growing rapidly.

Other dignitaries including the minister of women affairs and his counterpart in charge of Niger Delta affairs lauded the initiative.
