Can we say Lagos is working?
Governor of Lagos State, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode through his deputy, Dr. Mrs. Oluranti Adebule has ordered for the immediate rehabilitation and provision of welfare assistance to Mrs. Ruth Uche, the mother of three set of twins whose husband absconded from their home in Agege, Lagos.
This was made known in a statement signed by the Governors Chief Press Secretary Habib Aruna on Friday.
Ambode’s directive followed newspaper publications which narrated the ordeal of the woman, who spoke with reporters during her distress visit to the Government Secretariat, Alausa on Thursday.
Her husband, Mr. Benjamin Uche was alleged to have absconded from home as a result of the expected birth of another set of twins from his wife, making it the third in a row.
While acknowledging the present economic situation in the country, the Governor noted that it is not proper for anyone to abandon his family, especially young children that they willingly brought to life.
The Governor stated that it is only when such children are properly taken care of that they can achieve their full potentials in life and become responsible citizens in the future.
