Ekiti State Governor, Kayode Fayemi, has hosted an elderly widow, Olufunmike Ogundipe, in his office, Igbere TV reports.


The governor received the widow on Thursday on request after she appealed to the government in a vox pop to revive the social security scheme for the elderly.


Igbere TV reports that the scheme called “owo arugbo” was introduced by Fayemi during his first administration.


Mama Ogundipe, as she is called, received attention after speaking during the “Meet Your Governor” monthly programme where the governor communicates his policies to the state and receives feedback from the people.


Last Monday, she said she was on her way to the market and had only N100 on her.


The widow, a resident of Ilogbo Street, Igede Ekiti, pleaded for the reintroduction of the scheme, saying three of her children were without jobs.


Ogundipe was received by the governor on Thursday in the company of her daughter, Funmilayo Ogundipe.


The widow lost her husband in 1994 and lost one of her children who was the bread winner of the family in 2010.


Fayemi directed the Director General of Enterprise and Microfinance, Kayode Fasae, to immediately give Funmilayo a temporary job.


He also directed the Director General of Bureau of Employment, Labour and Productivity, Lanre Ogunjobi, to include her for permanent job when recruitment begins.


Fayemi also donated an undisclosed amount to the widow and instructed that she be made an automatic recipient in the ‘owo arugbo’ scheme to commence in October.

It seems Fayemi is a listening governor. The ear of the leader must ring with the voices of the masses.

Good one, Omoluabi Fayemi. Also encourage #CommercialCattleRanching in your state.

Ipob pigs, pls keep off.

Abeg, the state needs more than this. This case is too small to be made public.
We have gone past celebration such. I know people will attack me

This is a commendable gesture by Gov Fayemi and for those of you complaining that he put it on social media I believe you’re the same people who would vilify him of doing nothing when the time comes for performance evaluation.

He who roast nuts for the blind must whistle to assure the blind his nuts are safe - Igbo proverb

Most of us are ignorant, what he doing that some people are praising him to what they are packing to their own pocket, this fayemi that looted ekiti money for buhari electioneering campaign in 2015 till today nothing was done about it,, now his planning to become the president of this country, he was a minister, this man is so greedy and selfish

Every serious country recruits the top graduating students, and best brains into their civil service and engine room, Nigeria employs like its a charity or voluteering organisation

most quota system

you and fayose are blessing to Ekiti state regardless of you both political discrepancy in one of your regimes, I still commend you guys

I hope more of infrastructures that will attract investors both local and foreign is part of your blueprint in this second term. ekiti state needs a thriving and IGR that can fend for the state


reliance on federal IGR can't grow or make a state experience development in a lifetime


I wish him the best and thanks to him for this kind gesture

He is playing politics of the masses now. His first regime was mar with arrogancy and non charlatans to the yearning of the people. He distance himself from the masses. Anyway ,I am happy for him.

So is yours

Nice one.

Any which way the critics want to sway this, my governor has always done well to us his indigene. Im so touched by this and very proud to associate with him and show him off as my Governor.

Any which way you see it, being kind to the weak and vulnerable cant be ignored, especially since the scheme was going to be reintroduced in October.
If I have the bank details of the daughter, I ll send some funds to mama mi.

May The Lord bless my governor with long life, health and the best that heave n can give.

That you support Fayose does not mean you cannot also support Fayemi. #CommonSenseThings

You started well but you end up talking nonsense.
