Dolapo, wife of Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo, at an Anti-Substance Abuse Programme, revealed that she once worked in the slums in Lagos among area boys and prostitutes.
This programme was held in commemoration of the International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking in Abuja recently.
Zainab, wife of Kebbi State Governor Atiku Bagudu, was also in attendance, and there was a stage play titled ‘Area Boy’, which portrayed the dangers of drug abuse, and this was an ill that was well delivered in the play.
According to the organisers of the programme, the Vice President’s wife admitted that she took interest in the play because it reminded her of the time she spent with some area boys and prostitutes in Lagos.
Mrs Osinbajo said:
“I wanted to watch the drama to relive the memory of the times that I spent working in the slums of Lagos among area boys, prostitutes, people who had been rejected and those who seemed lost already. As the drama went on, I could identify some people that I knew so many years ago.”
