Anambra State Governor’s wife, Nonye Soludo, has called on good-spirited individuals, political representatives, communities and religious leaders to reach out to those displaced by flooding and are taking shelter at different holding centers across the state.
The Governor’s wife, who made the call in Awka, said that even though the government is at the front of bringing solace to people displaced by the flood, this period also calls for a collective show of compassion from everyone.
Mrs. Soludo explained that there is no better time for the Anambra spirit of fraternity, love and charity to manifest than now, adding that the people in the holding camps are Anambrarians in need of love. She also called for the extension of the charity and love to other various IDP camps in Nigeria.
Welfare
Nonye reiterated her concern about the welfare of pregnant and nursing women and children at the centers, especially as it concerns hygiene and general health and appealed to caregivers in the temporary shelters to do more in those areas.
The Governor’s wife, while commending those, who have already visited the camps, urged other well-meaning persons to also emulate them and help flood victims, nationwide.
She further said that the state government is doing everything within available resources to help those that have been affected by the disaster and promised to continue to lend her support always.
