The Leader of Opposition, House of Representatives, Mr. Femi Gbajabiamila as part of the just concluded Sallah celebration on Tuesday visited Heart of Gold Hospice, Surulere, Lagos to extend his helping hand to children with special needs.

Gbajabiamila who also represents Surulere federal constituency in the National Assembly accompanied by a Surulere community leader, Mr. Agbo Dabiri were received and conducted around the children wards by Proprietor of Heart of Gold Hospice, Mrs Laja Adedoyin.

Gbajabiamila presented the hospice with food and medical items. One of the highlights of the occasion is the privilege of naming a yet-to-be Christened 5month old baby who had hole in his heart. The senior lawmaker named the baby “Emmanuel” and said his choice of name was influenced by indications that “God is with us”. 

The lawmaker after interacting with the children, offered to raise bills required to put Baby Emmanuel in a normal shape including payment for surgery to be carried out abroad. The Hospice had earlier expressed sadness that it’s in short of $7,000 to send the baby for surgery in India.

Mr. Dabiri who is also founder of Ikotun Nursery and Primary School, Surulere also granted full scholarship to one of the children in the Hospice.

Mrs Adedoyin expressed appreciation for the kind gesture of Gbajabiamila and said that the Hospice would continue to thrive on the support of well meaning Nigerians.
