Independence Celebration: Justice Nyesom-Wike  visits orphanages, Home of the Elderly

Wife of the Rivers State Governor, Justice Eberechi Suzzette Nyesom-Wike has called on  public spirited Nigerians to invest in the lives of the less privileged.

She said that such investments would enhance  the  standard  of living  of the less privileged  and place them in better position  to contribute  to  the  development  of the country.

She spoke on Friday  in Port Harcourt  during  her pre-independence charity visits  to two orphanages, a school for children  with special needs, a Home of the Elderly and the  Remand Home.

According  to  the  Wife of the Rivers State Governor, the  less privileged children and the elderly require care from other members of the society. She noted that such investments  never expire as they will  ever remain  relevant.

She said: "We believe in them because they will be better citizens.

"We should  all get involved  in care for people in these circumstances whether they are in orphanages, elder people  homes or in Remand homes".

She called on Nigerians to find time to visit the homes for the  less privileged on a regular  basis, so that they can assist the inmates.

Justice Nyesom-Wike prayed  God  to  grant  the inmates of the  less privileged  homes protection and  good health.

Speaking  at the different  facilities, the wife of the Rivers State Governor extended the message  of love from Governor Wike, food items and monetary  gifts for the  upkeep of inmates.

In his remarks, Rivers State Commissioner for Social Welfare and Rehabilitation, Mr Damiete Herbert-Miller said that the administration  of  Governor  Wike  has taken steps to improve  the living conditions  of  the  inmates at the less privileged  children homes

He commended  the  Wife of the Rivers State Governor, Justice Eberechi Suzzette Nyesom-Wike for always taking promoting the welfare  of  the  less privileged  in the state.

In his remarks, Mr Cliff Jarrell of Global Foundation for Orphaned Children commended the Wife of the Rivers State Governor for her kindness to  the home.

Also speaking, Matron of the Home of the Elderly, Reverend Sister Jane Raphael  said that the efforts of the Wife of  the  Rivers State Governor will enhance  the  living conditions  of the less privileged.
