Speaking when Vincy Froebel Model school, Ibadan, made donations to the special school, Oluwatayo bemoaned that the reduced income flow had even affected the capacity to provide free lunch for the special children.
He lamented that the usual influx of individual and groups to special schools, special homes to make donations in the spirit of the festive season was also lacking this year.
