A coalition of Soludo Support Groups enrolled no fewer than 60 children from Rehabilitation Centre for the Disabled, Old and Tramps, RECDOT, Ozubulu in Ekwusigo Local Government Area, LGA, into the Anambra State Health Insurance Agency’s, ASHIA’s, scheme.
The Secretary of the Groups, Nelson Omenugha, explained that the gesture was to celebrate Prof. Chukwuma Soludo’s 60th birthday, which was marked on July 28.
Soludo is currently one of the gubernatorial aspirants under the platform of the All Progressive Grand Alliance, APGA.
Omenugha said that the idea was to help the less privileged in the society to have access to quality healthcare through the state’s health insurance scheme that would ensure quality care, affordable to enrollees.
“We the coalition of Soludo Support Groups paid for the premium of the 60 children from RECDOT on behalf of Prof. Soludo; we will also be making an endowment to critical sectors of the economy that Prof Soludo is passionate about.
“In support of this noble idea, the Executive Secretary ASHIA, Simeon Onyemaechi, paid the premium of 10 more children making it a total of 70 children from RECDOT enrolled into the scheme,’’ he said.
Onyemaechi commended the group for their kind gesture, appealing to well-meaning individuals and groups to do the same by enrolling their people into ASHIA.
The proprietress of RECDOT, Rosemary Odukwe, expressed her gratitude to the state government and the group for their continued support.
Odukwe noted that the government had been helping in ensuring that the children were well taken care of.
She commended Prof. Soludo and his support groups for remembering the poor children on his birthday and wished him more fruitful years ahead.
