In May 2020, amidst the challenges posed by the COVID-19 lockdown, concerned Igbara-Oke citizens residing in the UK and Europe extended a helping hand to the elderly residents of Igbara-Oke by offering them financial assistance. The generous sum of £1595 was diligently raised by the dedicated members of our association, with the sole intention of assisting those in need during these trying times. One hundred thirty-three (133) deserving individuals received a substantial sum of 5,000 Naira (the Nigeria Local Currency) each, ensuring they had some financial relief to alleviate their difficulties. Additionally, two individuals facing particularly critical circumstances were graciously given 10,000 Naira each to address their urgent needs better. All the beneficiaries were aged 70 and above and were residents of Igbara-Oke at the time. This initiative was a testament to our commitment to supporting our community's old and needy members, especially during challenging times
