abandoned mother of 3 sets of twins receives more support

THE mother of three sets of twins, whose husband and father absconded recently, from their Agege, Lagos home, Mrs. Ruth Uche, 34,  has continued to be favoured by Nigerians, both at home and in Diaspora.
Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode last weekend approved the immediate rehabilitation and provision of welfare assistance to Uche, who had earlier visited the state government Secretariat, Alausa, to narrate her ordeal.
Yesterday, the Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa, visited the Uches at their Agege residence, at the weekend to lend support to the cause.
Obasa, on behalf of the state assembly, presented food items, beverages and undisclosed cash to the woman.
The speaker, while rejoicing with the woman for safe delivery of another set of twins, said, “We should continue to thank God.”
Describing children as gifts from God, Obasa urged Uche to always give thanks to God in whatever situation she finds herself.
While assuring Mrs. Uche of state government’s assistance, he advised residents to always make use of the health facilities provided by the state as they were built for their use and improve their health.
Mrs. Uche expressed appreciation to the governor and the speaker, saying she was overwhelmed with joy at the gesture and the visit.
“I’m overwhelmed with joy at this visit and I pray to God to always be with you and continue to bless you,” she said.
