NGO Makes Case For Less Previleged

An  International Non- Government  Organisation (NGO),  under the aegis of  Rhabi Women Health Center and Motherless Home, has appealed  to  government at all levels in Nigeria, and good spirited individuals to show support and care to the less privileged in the society.

Founder of the  organisation,  Mrs. Rabi Chizoba Sani Santos,  made the call recently  when she led a delegation of the organisation  to University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital, Ituku Ozalla, Enugu (UNTH) to offset hospital  bills of some indigent patients as well as  offer financial and material assistance to less privileged patients in the hospital.

The NGO boss, expressed optimism that with proper care and exercise, disabled child like little Kingsley Chidubem could still use their hands and legs.

Santos, who almost broke into tears over the plight of the little boy, maintained that hospital was not the best place for the little boy to stay and called on  government to come to his assistance .

She, however, made a case for the adoption of Chidubem to give him a sense of belonging and assured that the abandoned boy could still be useful to anyone that would accept him as a son.

Matching action with words, she immediately offered some undisclosed financial assistance to alleviate the sufferings of the abandoned Chidubem, on behalf of the NGO.

Speaking earlier, Assistant Director, Nursing in UNTH, Mrs Ngozi Onyeji had told newsmen that Chidubem’s father ran away few minutes after he brought him to the hospital.

Onyeji, noted  that Chidubem’s father had not been sighted since 2007 he deceived the hospital.

According to her, frantic efforts by management of the hospital to trace Chidubem’s whereabouts had not yielded any fruit till date, disclosing that his correct identities were yet to be known.

The little boy, she went on,   had been a burden to nurses and staff at UNTH, as they have continued to sustain him with their salaries.

She said Chidubem, could neither speak fluently nor make use of his hands, a situation she said, had made the management to put him in a well protected bed to prevent him from falling down.
