Osun State Governor, Adegboyega Oyetola has enjoined citizens to imbibe the spirit of philanthropy and service to God and humanity.
He said since worldly things are ephemeral; it is incumbent on those favoured with abundant resources to deploy their wealth to assist the needy.
Oyetola spoke at the inauguration of the 138-year old mosque rebuilt by Osun State Supervisor for Finance, Commerce and Industry, Mr. Bola Oyebamiji, in Ikire, at the weekend.
Oyetola urged well-to-do citizens to help the needy and join hands with the state government to advance the economy for the people’s benefit.
“Helping one another is directly proportional to helping the government since government is constituted to guarantee the security of lives and property of the citizens as well as the general welfare of all.
