Osinbajo Offers Scholarship To Gifted Physically Challenged Artist
Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has offered a gifted physically challenged artist, Ms Abosede Okeowo, a US online scholarship to enhance her skills.
Osinbajo’s spokesman, Laolu Akande, in a statement yesterday in Abuja, said the presentation was made recently at the palace of Oba Adekunle Adeagbo, the Oore of Otun-Ekiti in Ekiti.
The 27-year-old artist had presented to Osinbajo a pencil portrait of himself during his courtesy visit to the Ooni of Ife in 2020.
Inspite of her limitations, Okeowo focuses on her artistic skills and has gained recognition because of her talent.
Okeowo, an indigene of Otun Ekiti in Ekiti State, had suffered an illness when she was a child which resulted in her current state of health.
