Ariyike Akinbobola celebrates Birthday with the Girls at the Correctional centre for Girls, Idi-araba

Media Personality, Ariyike Akinbobola who recently gave birth to a baby (HERE)  turned a year older yesterday. The mother of three celebrated her birthday at the Children correctional Centre for girls, Idi-Araba, Lagos where she donated some toiletries, exercise books, stationaries and copies of her novella - The Cost of our Lives.

She commended the Lagos state government for setting up and maintaining the facility for the girls and for enduring that all the girls in the facility are being empowered  educationally and vocationally. She also gave the girls a career talk where she told them they should take their studies seriously and she taught them about the importance of multitasking. She ended her interactive session with the girls by telling them that no matter where they came from, no matter what anyone had told them, they must never give up on their dreams.

The girls had a fun day as they sang, danced and acted a play. They all laughed and gisted with Ariyike, her mother and friends who accompanied her to the place.

The Children Correctional Centre for girls is a facility under the Lagos State Ministry of Youth and Social Development which houses girls who are lost but found, girls who have been physically or sexually abused, girls who are in conflict with the Law (Young offenders) and girls brought in by their Parents  i.e Beyond Parental control. The identities of the girls are being protected for obvious pictures. Check out the Pictures below.
