Wife of the Governor of Anambra State, Dr. Nonye Soludo was in tears on Tuesday as she visited orphanages in Onitsha and its environs.
Consequently, she has committed to doing surgery on a cerebral palsy patient at one of the Onitsha children’s homes.
She spoke with the managers of three registered homes during her visits about the necessity of continuing one of the prisoners’ treatments.
The governor’s wife, who had visited five of the 39 registered homes, promised to visit all community homes in the state before Christmas.
She said the visit was to extend love and kindness to the children’s homes, as a way of reassuring them that they are not alone in their plight.
