Celebrated Nollywood actress Ngozi Nwosu who has been
battling Kidney and liver failure and is barely hanging on to to life
will be ending 2012 with, at least, a smile.
Just this evening, on the last day of 2012, Lagos State Governor Raji
Fashola on behalf of the Lagos State Government donated the sum of
N4.5m to complete the money needed for Nwosu’s operation.
Sources say Fashola heard about Nwosu’s case a few weeks ago while
reading a publication and asked one of his protocol officers to get in
touch with her.
‘They got in touch with us and have asked us to meet with them’, a
source close to the actress told Nigerian Entertainment Today.
NET gathered that Nwosu and her friends were in the office of the
Governor today, but we could not immediately get confirmation from the
governor’s media team.
Our source also tells us that prior to Fashola’s call, other state
governments had gotten in touch with them ‘but nothing substantial has
come out’ of their meetings.
Nwosu now has N6m and can sort out the fees required for the operation.
This isn’t the first time this sort of gesture has been made to an
ailing entertainer or individual. Recently deceased Nollywood veteran
actor Enebeli Elebuwa also received help from the Delta State
government.
Others like cancer patients Debbie and Funmi Lawal received financial
donations from the likes of music producer Don Jazzy, artistes Davido,
Solid Star and actresses Tonto Dike and Rukky Sanda
