By Ogenyi Ogenyi,Uyo

Dozens of mothers of multiple birth children in ONNA Local Council of Akwa Ibom last weekend recieved donations of cash and baby accessories to ease the burdens associated with raising multiple children from wife of the State Governor, Mrs Patience Umo-Eno.

According to the First Lady, the donation was in a bid to further the work of Mary Slessor and to curb the scourge of maternal mortality and child morbidity in the state which is a core component of her-soon-to- be – launched pet project,

Eno expressed her gratitude to Slessor, a Scottish Presbyterian missionary who was famous for her pioneering role in ending the common practice of the killing of twins in Nigeria.

“I congratulate you on your safe deliveries. Glory be to Jesus that God, through Mary Slessor, changed the stories of multiple birth children in this country. Today mothers have the freedom of delivering twins, triplets and even quadruplets.” She said.

The Chairman of ONNA Local Government Council, Mr. Iniabasi Ekanem who described the act as a relief to the beneficiaries commended the First Lady for her commitment to pacifying the needs of the less privileged and providing succour for multiple birth mothers.

Ekanem expressed confidence that the ARISE Agenda of Governor Umo Eno would address numerous and encompassing challenges affecting families, especially at the rural communities.

In a remark, Honorary Special Adviser to the Governor on Agriculture, Rt. Hon. Owoidoho Ekpoattai, lauded the Governor’s wife Pastor Patience Eno for ameliorating the huge burden on families with multiple births and bringing succour to mothers of multiple birth in the area considering the current economic realities.
