Two weeks after an ex-corps member who delivered a set of quintuplets, Anambra State government has approved the N2million as support for the family.
The ex-corps member, Mrs Chidinma Amaechi recently delivered the set of quintuplets at Life International Hospital, Awka, Anambra State capital.
The former corps member’s husband and sister, Mrs Ebele Oranekwu had last month upon her delivery pleaded for help from public spirited individuals and also the state government.
The babies were delivered after a caesarian session, and later transferred to the intensive care unit of the hospital.
The elder sister to the nursing mother, Mrs Ebele Oranekwu who spoke with journalists at the hospital, had said the bill for the incubators alone was N250,000 each day, and the children are expected to be on it for about 30 days.
Meanwhile, the Commissioner for Women and Social Welfare, Mrs Ify Obinabo disclosed the plan of government to help the couple offset part of their hospital bill.
