UNIZIK Lecturer Delivered Of Septuplets (Seven Babies), Hospital Charges N19m
A Lecturer, Mrs Ngozi Uzodike, working with the Department of Business Administration, Nnamdi Azikiwe University (UNIZIK) Awka, Anambra State, has been delivered of a set of seven twins (Septuplets)- two boys and five girls.
She was delivered of the babies on Sunday, at Obijackson Women and Children Hospital Okija.
The Lady shed tears of joy for the huge Blessing and that of sorrow for not being able to offset the medical bills, as she has not been paid salary since she was employed in the in December 2020.
The husband, Celestine Uzodike, who hails from Omogho, Orumba North LGA Anambra State, a junior aide to the Governor Chukwuma Soludo, complained that his wife, despite being properly engaged as a Lecturer, has not earned even a kobo as salary, regretting that even after she has been promoted from Assistant Lecturer to Lecturer II, they have not deemed it fit to pay her salaries.
The family who was billed 19 Million Naira by the Hospital, appealed to the federal government to pay the two years salary arrears owned to the new mother, and also come to their aide as they are not able to foot the hospital bills and take care of the surviving Two boys and Four girls, as one of the girls could not make it.
Mrs Uzodike, who was too weak to speak after the delivery, appealed to philanthropists both in Anambra State and Nigeria at large, to come to their aid in order to offset the 19 million Naira hospital bill.
