The Coordinator, Delta Widows Welfare Scheme, Elder Isioma Okonta,praises the
Gov. Ifeanyi Okowa for the widows’ initiative.
He added that this development has differentiated his administration from others.
This statement was made by him while speaking with newsmen on Friday in Agbor, Ika South Local Government Area (LGA) of the state.
“A total of 5,607 widows have enrolled in the scheme across the 270 wards in the state. It will interest you to know that through the scheme, all of them are entitled to their monthly stipends and free medical care.
“Okowa has shown his magnanimity to these widows because they are poor and vulnerable in the society and today they no longer beg for alms,” he said.
“The widows will continue to remember him in their prayers just as he has remembered them. Let’s add that Gov. Okowa has done well in his agenda of making poor widows in the state happy,” he said.
