Anambra State Governor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo has supported a
couple, Mr and Mrs Celestine Uzodike, who welcomed septuplet in Okija with the
sum of N15million
The Commissioner for Women and Social Welfare, Hon Ify
Obinabo, who visited the couple on Thursday, made the revelation.
She visited the couple at Obijackson Women and Children
Hospital, Okija, where Mrs Uzodike delivered the children.
She presented a cheque of the sum to the couple during the
occasion. She added that the state government is not only interested in the
well-being of the children but also that of the parents, and will continue to
support them.
“The state government will continue to do her best to ensure
that children and women in the state are protected.
“I thank the hospital management for their support and kind
gesture towards the couple and the children, and you should expect that we will
do more.”
Responding, Mr Celestine and his wife, Mrs Ngozi Uzodike,
after receiving the cheque, thanked the state government for their timely intervention.
The couple, who were visibly excited, also appreciated the
wife of the governor, Mrs Nonye Soludo, for making women and children her
priority.
The woman had early January been delivered of a set of
septuplets, but were said to have later lost one of the babies.
