Abia State Governor, Alex Otti, has approved the payment of the first phase of the medical expenses of veteran Nollywood actress, Ngozi Nwosu, following her public appeal for financial assistance to undergo three life-saving surgeries.

The governor’s Senior Special Assistant on Tourism and Entertainment, Martins Justice, announced the intervention in a post on X on Tuesday.

“His Excellency @alexottiofr have just stepped in on the health issues of our Nollywood legendary actress Mrs. Ngozi Nwosu to approve the first part of her medical bills,” he wrote.

Justice, however, said the intervention covered only part of the required medical expenses and appealed to Nigerians to continue supporting the actress.
