She acknowledged the potential in them and commended their care givers for the hard work they put in in taking of the children with special needs.

Mrs Makinde who charged the children with special needs to be impactful in life without minding the challenges confronting them, noted that they could make Nigeria better and greater.

In her opening remarks, Commissioner for Women Affairs and Social Inclusion, Mrs Joke Sanni said the theme of the 60th anniversary was indeed needful at a time such as this, as it was only in togetherness that Nigeria and Nigerians can survive.

Highlights of the program included dancing competition, drama presentation, choreography and distribution of foodstuffs, drugs, toiletries and cash to 25 children homes in Oyo state.
