Ebonyi State Governor David Umahi has doled out the sum of N1 million tuition fee for two teenage street hawkers.
The girls who were identified as Ukamaka Ikema and Chimuanya Nwarie were said to be hawking on the street of Abakaliki after reportedly running into the governor who was inspecting the Akanu Ibiam roundabout flyover along the Transhara Expressway in the city.
A statement on Wednesday by the governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Emma Anya, explained that the governor interacted with the mothers of the two children and after hearing the plight of the children’s parents, he approved N500,000 for each of them for the upkeep and tuition of the two children.
