At Charity Care Babies’ Home, Agbani, the inmates sang ‘happy-birthday’ songs for the governor. Hon Okereke presented them with food items, cartons of Indomie, toiletries, baby care and fruit juice.
He described Governor Ugwuanyi as God-sent, adding that the gesture was the governor’s desire to share with the less privileged in his birthday. According to him, “Gov Ugwuanyi directed that his birthday should be celebrated with the needy, and that it should be devoid of fanfare. In line with this wish, we have come to offer our widow’s mite.”
The officers-in-charge of Charity Care Babies’ Home, Agbani, and the health centres, Mrs Ukamaka Ani, Mrs Onyinye Ogbu and Mrs Ani Stella, thanked Gov Ugwuanyi for his giant strides.
