The wife of Ekiti State Governor, Mrs Feyisetan Fayose,
on Monday condemned the increasing cases of sexual
abuse against the girl child in the society.
She said this while offsetting medical bill of 25 years old
cerebral palsy patient impregnated by an unknown person
and other indigent patients at the State Specialist
Hospital, Ijero-Ekiti.
She frowned at the way a cerebral palsy lady was raped
by an unknown man at Ijero and got her pregnant, leaving
her and the baby without a father.
Fayose said parents should be more vigilant in caring for
their girl-child to protect them from being impregnated.
She stressed that for the future of the girl- child to be
adequately secured, there was the need for her education
to be taken seriously without any distraction.
Fayose also advised ladies to keep their body for their
future husbands, adding that they should not allow any
man to use and dump them anyhow.
"There is dignity in virginity’," she added.
Chief Medical Director of the Hospital, Dr Olagbaju
Adebanjo, while appreciating the gesture extended to the
patients by the wife of the governor, called for more
government support and attention for the hospital.
Mrs Bosede Ige, one of the beneficiaries, commended the
gesture of the governor’s wife, saying that she was unable
to pay the bill given her by the hospital.
