Lagos State Deputy Governor, Dr Idiat Oluranti Adebule, Monday, played host to Mrs. Ruth Uche and her set of twins, who were abandoned by her husband, Mr. Benjamin Uche.
Dr Adebule, at the meeting advised the run-away husband to come forward and take up the responsibility of caring for his family, admonishing him to be appreciative of the divine blessings that have come his way through the children.Mrs. Uche’s visit to the deputy governor’s office is a follow-up to the directive of Governor Akinwunmi Ambode who directed that the woman and her children be rehabilitated and assisted by all relevant government agencies to ensure they are in good condition.
Speaking while hosting the woman the deputy governor sympathized with her over the traumatic experience of trying to raise the six children following the disappearance of her husband, assuring that the government will ensure the well-being of her children.
“As a woman and a mother, I can only imagine what you have gone through managing six children, it must have been energy sapping and depressing, but I salute your courage and I want to assure you that this government will not abandon you, we will stand by you and ensure that you are assisted to get back to a normal life,”
