WIFE of the Governor of Delta State and founder of 05 Initiative, Dame Edith Okowa, has passionately appealed to well meaning individuals and corporate bodies to always support orphanage homes and care givers operating in the state.
She stated this during the issuance of cheques to selected, registered orphanages operating in state by Zenith Bank Nigeria Plc through the O5 Initiative on Monday 2nd August 2021 at Government House, Asaba.
According to the Governor’s wife, “As you are aware, this programme which started in 2017 is done annually by Zenith Bank through the O5 Initiative to mark the birthday of my dear Husband Sen. Dr Ifeanyichukwu Okowa who at the inception of this administration made a passionate appeal to Deltans to take care of orphans instead of organizing parties in his honour.
“Zenith Bank Nigeria Plc keyed in and have been consistent with this presentation as part of the Vision of the O5 Initiative to care for Orphans.
“This is the Lord’s doing and it is marvellous in our eyes, even when the world is going through hard times, there is still supply for the needy.”
