Deplorable state of social welfare office in Ibadan, Oyo state (photos)

A LIB reader who visited the place sent in the photos and wrote;
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.

  4. Its a pity that this is happening, just like majority of other agencies. Apart from this, we also have zero maintenance culture in Nigeria, especially towards govt owned projects.

  5. Ajimobi indeed has failed the people of Oyo state, but yet always swift at pointing an accusing finger at Ladoja. Hope this info gets to him and something is done asap to help protect this change we all fought for.

  14. I think the workers so try and are motivated but are barely supported by the government
    .Social Work is poorly encouraged in the country, most times the worker who haven't been paid for more than 4months now have to.use from their pockets it's really sad. As an intern there it was very pitiful

  18. Not trying to excuse the government authorities here, but can we be a tad responsible for some of the littlest things in our lives? As opposed to locking people up for petty crimes and taking bribes from them before releasing them, make them do community services, build service hours into school curriculums, encourage students in high schools/colleges to develop social awareness by forming clubs and organizations that make positive contributions...and this doesn't have to involve money. The over grown bushes and weed at this establishment can easily be taken care of by just 4 teenagers.

  28. I pray that the good Lord will cause the Oyo state government to do something about the building and everything in it since it has been brought to light in Jesus name. A men.

  29. The oyo state governor is indeed a disappointment. It's so sad to know that he was re-elected a second time after he did nothing the first time. And his daughters continuously post pictures of their lavish and extremely expensive lifestyles on Instagram and nobody seems to be asking where all the state funds have gone.
