According to The PUNCH, the Minister of Youth and Sports Development,
Sunday Dare, has offered scholarships to the children of a poor
blue-eyed mother, Risikat Azeez, who was dumped by her husband,
Abdul-Wasiu Omo-Dada.
The PUNCH recently released an exclusive video of Risikat, who said her
husband abandoned her and two daughters because of the colour of their
eyes.
Thereafter, concerned Nigerians offered to help the 30-year-old mother of two.
The minister’s Personal Assistant, Grassroots, Shola Kolawole, visited
the family on Saturday on behalf of his boss, who also offered a cash
gift to the family.
“Her story was compelling and pitiable. Two young kids and mother
abandoned by the husband through no fault of theirs. No kid should be
denied education and a chance to live. I was moved by compassion. As an
Ogbomoso indigene, they live next door to us in Ilorin. They are my
neighbours. The Bible admonishes that we should love our neighbours that
we see,” Dare said.
Dare’s intervention comes as cheery news for Risikat and her kids, who had never been to school,
“It’s my desire for my kids to be educated because my parents sent me
to school within the limit of their capacity, which is not even adequate
for me because I can’t speak (English). But it is my desire for my
children to be well-educated if I have the funds and if God enables me.
“My first daughter, who is almost five years old, has never attended a school before, but I will like them to be educated,” Risikat said.
