The Governor of Enugu State, Rt. Hon. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi yesterday paid
an unscheduled visit to the FSP Medical Centre/Orphanage Home on
Abakaliki Road in Enugu metropolis, promising succour to the residents of
the centre.
Governor Ugwuanyi said the welfare of children and the less
privileged persons in the society are part of the priorities of his
administration as he elicited first hand information on the conditions
and some of the challenges facing the inmates.
The governor apparently guided by the body language of his
administration to cater for the welfare of the people, seemed visibly
touched and then, moved to find out more about the health status of
the inmates with a view to proffering solutions to some of the
identified problems as he toured their cells yesterday.
Addressing the workers of the orphanage home, business operators and
other residents who gathered during the visit, Governor Ugwuanyi
assured the people of government protection as they carry on with
their genuine businesses as well as attending to the welfare of the
inmates of the home.
He tasked the people to be law abiding by obeying the constituted
authorities and the law and to report any body, group or authority
that illegally embarrassed them as they do their genuine businesses.
According to the governor, anything that touches the poor, touches him
just as he urged them to pray for his administration to achieve its
set gargets and goals.
Earlier, the Director, FSP Medical Centre/Orphanage, Mrs. Nneka Anioke
and the founder, WACOL/Tarmar Sarc, an Enugu-based nongovernmental
organization, Mrs. Joy Ezeilo, appreciated Governor Ugwuanyi for the
visit which they said would go a long way to solve some of their
problems bogging the two separate bodies down.
