According to him, “It is mandatory for all orphanages, homeowners and operators in Lagos State to register with Lagos State Ministry of Youth and Social Development; those who are yet to do so must comply within 14 days from now to forestall closure of such illicit homes”.
The Commissioner stated that after preliminary investigations on the sealed home, it was discovered that the Orphanage does not have the approval of the State Government to commence activities as the operators had earlier been denied the certificate of operation due to unavailability of necessary facilities.However, the operator of Holy Infant Orphanage, Mrs. Binta Adebayo who claimed that she was still processing the certificate of operation with the State government, denied running the Home with an ulterior intention.More photos below.
