Abia State Governor Alex Otti has approved the payment of the first phase of veteran Nollywood actress Ngozi Nwosu's medical bills after she publicly appealed for financial assistance.
The governor's Senior Special Assistant on Tourism and Entertainment, Martins Justice, announced the intervention on Tuesday, explaining that the payment covers only part of the actress's medical expenses.
The 62-year-old actress recently disclosed that she had been hospitalized for three weeks and urgently required ₦30 million to undergo three life-saving surgeries.
Reacting to the governor's intervention, Martins Justice expressed gratitude to Otti for coming to the aid of the veteran actress but appealed to well-meaning Nigerians to continue supporting her until the remaining medical expenses are fully covered.
The development has been welcomed by fans and colleagues in the entertainment industry, many of whom have continued to pray for Nwosu's speedy recovery and called for more support for veteran actors facing health challenges.
