A reader of a popular blog who visited the Social welfare office at Iyaganku, Ibadan, sent in the photos and this report:I write to you with a heavy heart. Social welfare generally is meant to remedy the ills of the society. Hence, it engages in different services such as; child welfare services including adoption, solving post/pre marital crisis, rehabilitation and reformation of delinquent & mal-adapted youths, Providing care, protection for the disabled, destitute etc but one would ordinary think that an agency that does this much for the society deserves a lot in return. But reverse is the case in Oyo state as it looks do not fit all any of these welfare functions.”
I got a letter from them, I decided to pay them a visit (as a professional counselor) what I saw was indeed an eyesore (ranging from dilapidated building, inaccessible road, Zero publicity, lowly motivated staff, etc.) The most surprising aspect is that people visit this office regularly, and its a pity that the government doesn’t see it fit to give this agency a face lift, despite the revenue it generates for the state. That is why I took it upon myself to take some pictures that can buttress my concern.
