Igbinedion hosts widows, disabled person
The Esama of Benin, Chief Gabriel Igbinedion, yesterday treated widows and disabled persons to a lavish party as part of activities marking his 78th birthday.
Giving out gifts to his guests, Igbinedion regretted that beneficiaries of the N5 million loan he gave out two years ago did not pay back.
He said it was meant to be a revolving loan, so that others could benefit.
Igbinedion pledged to provide more loans for the widows and provide motorised wheel chairs for disabled persons .
Igbinedion began his birthday celebration on August 31 and the activities will end in London on September 28.
