The family of Evbu Eguasa has commended the Edo State Government for intervening in her rehabilitation after she reportedly lived with mental health challenges for about 16 years.
The family gave the commendation on Tuesday during a visit to the Edo State Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Development in Benin to appreciate the government’s support.
Speaking on behalf of the family, Lugard Eguasa said years of efforts to secure treatment for his sister were hampered by financial constraints and other challenges.
He thanked Governor Monday Okpebholo and the Commissioner for Women Affairs and Social Development, Eugenia Abdallah, for facilitating the intervention which has improved her condition.
According to him, Ms Eguasa, born in 1964, lived in Italy for several years before returning to Nigeria under difficult circumstances.
