The Delta State governor Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori has flagged off the Delta State Widows Welfare Scheme which also includes registration of the beneficiaries into the Delta state contributory health care for free medical treatment in their localities.
Speaking at the Event Centre in Asaba during the official flag-off, Governor Oborevwori reaffirmed his personal and political commitment to the welfare of widows, noting that widowhood is a painful condition no one chooses.
“Being a widow is not by choice, and it will never be anyone’s choice.
Beyond the pain of losing a loved one, widows are left with the burden of survival. That is why this administration is determined to improve their living conditions and give them hope.
