The wife of Anambra State
Governor, Mrs Obiano has gifted a widow, Mrs Okonkwo, with a three bedroom
bungalow constructed by her Non-Governmental Organization, the Caring Family
Enhancement Initiative (CAFÉ)
The beneficiary who could
not contain her joy shed tears of joy.
She thanked Mrs. Obiano for favouring her,
stressing that by the gesture she has saved her the ugly experiences she had in
her former dilapidated mud house, especially during rainy seasons.
In one of the cases of the house project, the
widow-beneficiary died and the governor’s wife handed the house over to
daughter of the deceased.
Commissioning the project in
Nibo last week at an occasion witnessed by many natives and some top government
functionaries including Deputy Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Sir
Hanford Oseke, Special Adviser to the Governor on Chieftaincy and Community
Matters, Mrs. Vera Okonkwo and the Transition Committee Chairman for Awka South
Local Government, Mr. Leo Nwuba, Chief Mrs Obiano said the programme was meant
to assist the needy.
She told the people of the
area of the activities and achievements of CAFE, disclosing that building a
house for widows was one of the means through which the Non-Governmental
Organization alleviates the sufferings of the indigent in the society
especially in the state, since according to her, charity begins at home.
The governor’s wife assured the people of the
state that CAFE initiative will continue its humanitarian service to Ndi
Anambra, urging them to continue with their prayers and support to the Obiano
administration for more purposeful governance.
Speaking earlier, the Awka South Local
Government boss, Mr. Nwuba, commended the Governor’s wife who he described as a
rare breed, assuring the unalloyed support of the people of Awka South to the
present administration.
The deputy speaker, Oseke, observed that CAFE
has really favoured the people of the state, and prayed for more blessings of
God on Mrs. Obiano.
