Mrs. Omolola urged the parents of the lucky child to take proper care of her and invest in her education, describing children as the revolving reservoir from which the nation draws its manpower.
The wife of the governor who also presented gifts to children at the children's ward, State Hospital, Asubiaro, Osogbo enjoined nursing mothers to immunize their children and give them exclusive Bosom feeding for the first six months, saying, "It will make their brains to be very sharp."
The WOCDIF Initiator, who prayed extensively for the new baby, advised the youth not to indulge in segxwal activities if they were not ready to cater for children.
