Late Blankson’ll Forever Be Remembered -Banigo
Rivers State Deputy Governor, Dr Ipalibo Harry Banigo says the sacrifice made by the late Joseph Blankson will forever be remembered in the annals of our history.
Banigo stated this during a condolence visit to Joseph Blankson’s widow by the Deputy Governor’s Widows Outreach Team at Woji Town in Port Harcourt, last Monday.
She said as a mother and a widow herself, she understood that Mrs Blankson was going through a very difficult situation, noting that it was very sad that the young man died in the process of saving other people’s lives and left behind a wife and two children.
She reiterated the efforts of the Rivers State Government, ably led by Chief Nyesom Wike, to forestall such accidents through the provision of state of the art infrastructure like roads, bridges and jetties.
In her response, widow of the deceased, Mrs Mercy Joe Blankson, thanked the deputy governor, the employers of her late husband, OK Isokariari, as well as family members and friends for their support and encouragement.
The elder brother of the deceased, Mr Ikronibo Blankson had earlier welcomed the deputy governor to late Joseph Blankson’s home and thanked her for her show of love to the Blankson’s family.
The deputy governor’s delegation included Special Assistant on Research, Uki Asemota; Senior Special Assistant, Mrs Inegogo Fubara; and Personal Assistant to the Deputy Governor, Mrs Obuba Georgewill.
