AWKA, Anambra – The wife of the Governor of Anambra State, Dr. Mrs. Nonye Soludo, on Tuesday visited 10-year-old Chiziterem Franklin Ozuligbo, who was allegedly abused and maltreated by his guardian and is currently receiving treatment in the hospital.
The First Lady visited the child at the hospital to which he was recently transferred, following her directive to the Commissioner for Health to ensure he receives the necessary medical attention and care.
Speaking after the visit, Mrs. Soludo said:”Earlier today, I visited young Chiziterem at the hospital where he has now been transferred, to personally assess his condition and offer encouragement as he begins his recovery journey.”
According to the First Lady, who is also the founder of Healthy Living with Nonye Soludo, she was relieved by the reassuring update provided by the medical team overseeing the child’s treatment.
She stated that, according to the medical team, Chiziterem’s condition is now stable and responding positively to treatment.
“While he still requires adequate medical care, emotional support, proper nutrition, and continuous monitoring to fully recover, it is heartwarming to see the progress he has made within such a short time,” she said.
Mrs. Soludo noted that Chiziterem’s story has touched many hearts and serves as a reminder of society’s collective responsibility to protect every child from abuse, neglect, exploitation, and all forms of harm.
“I will continue to monitor his recovery and ensure that he receives the care, protection, rehabilitation, and support he deserves. I thank the medical team, concerned citizens, and everyone who has shown love, compassion, and concern during this difficult time.
“Remember, if you see something, always endeavour to say something. Prompt reporting can help save lives and protect vulnerable children. Call 112 or 5111 to report any emergency,” she said.
