Dare offers scholarships to Kwara blue-eyed girls

recently released an exclusive video of Risikat, who said her husband abandoned her and two daughters because of the colour of their eyes.The minister’s Personal Assistant, Grassroots, Shola Kolawole, visited the family on Saturday on behalf of his boss, who also offered a cash gift to the family.

“Her story was compelling and pitiable. Two young kids and mother abandoned by the husband through no fault of theirs. No kid should be denied education and a chance to live. I was moved by compassion. As an Ogbomoso indigene, they live next door to us in Ilorin. They are my neighbours. The Bible admonishes that we should love our neighbours that we see,” Dare said.

“My first daughter, who is almost five years old, has never attended a school before, but I will like them to be educated,” Risikat said.All rights reserved.
