According to him, ” our presence here today is not for road show, we are committed to ensuring that that the Children reach the highest they can, they have no fathers but they have God as their fathers, they will get to the highest of what God has in future for them

“Am appealing to the wealthy men and women in our society to come to their aid, it is not due to their own faults, we have to assist them to grow in one way or the other.”

The Speaker pleaded with the Senator representing the FCT in the National Assembly, Senator Philip Aduda ‎to assist in ensuring that inmates of Orphanage homes were given special treatment
