IBADAN – The wife of Oyo State governor, Mrs Florence Ajimobi, has promised to collaborate with the International Federation of Women Lawyers (FIDA) in the state to rehabilitate prisoners.
Ajimobi made the pledge when she received the executive members of Oyo State chapter of FIDA on Tuesday in Ibadan.
The governor’s wife promised to work with FIDA to get already identified prisoners released and rehabilitated into the society.
According to her, the gesture is aimed at helping to rehabilitate female inmates that have regained their freedom. [eap_ad_1] The governor’s wife urged members of FIDA to continue their good work and to believe in God that rewards all good deeds.
She also urged women to take care of their female children by protecting them from being defiled and raped, adding that work should not take precedence over their children.
“It is better to protect female children in order to prevent them from being harassed sexually,” she said.
She urged women whose children experienced such harassment to speak out rather than cover up.
This, she said, would help in the campaign to stop violence against women. (NAN)
