Represented by the Commissioner for Women Affairs, Dr. Maureen Aghukwa, Mrs Otti said that no woman should be left to struggle alone because she was delivered of multiple babies.
Mrs explained that she immediately mobilized her team to ensure that the mother and children received adequate care, describing the multiple birth as a miracle for the family and for Abia State.”
“My office is always open to support families blessed with multiple births. No woman should be left to struggle alone after bringing such joy into the world,” she declared.
She disclosed that crèche facilities have already been established in some government offices, with more under construction, and encouraged mothers across the state to embrace exclusive breastfeeding.
