Commissioner's Wife pays Hospital bill for ailing child

The Wife of the Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mrs Regina Charles Udoh, has settled the medical bills of an ailing child in Etoi, Uyo Local Government Area, Akwa Ibom State.

Announcing the gesture recently, during a Monthly General Prayer for women in the area, organised by the Special Assistant to Governor on Social Reorientation, Mr Ekpeno Gold, the Commissioner's Wife said she was touched by the plight of little girl when she received the news and decided to defray the hospital bill.

Mrs Udoh said although the disease was yet to be diagnosed, she was sure the donation will go a long way to ensuring immediate treatment of the young girl.

She advised mothers to always pay close attention to their children for early detection of any form of illness among them and prayed for a quick recovery of the child.

Speaking, the Special Assistant to Governor on Social Reorientation, Mr Ekpeno Gold, thanked Mrs Udoh for her prompt response and described her as a kind hearted mother.

He said people of the area will always remain grateful to the Commissioner's Wife,   who he noted, is always ready, to respond to calls for help from people.

To enjoy more of such benevolence, Gold said the people of the area should continually support Governor Udom Emmanuel, Mr Charles Udoh and by extension, the PDP led government in the State.

Receiving the cash, Mother of the child, Mrs Aniekan thanked Mrs. Charles Udoh  for the gesture and prayed God to reward her abundantly.

In the mean time, confirmed reports has it that, the child had since been admitted and is currently responding to treatment at an undisclosed hospital.
