Abia State Governor Alex Otti has approved the first phase of medical funding for veteran Nollywood actress Ngozi Nwosu as she prepares to undergo three life-saving surgeries.

He appealed to kind-hearted individuals, colleagues in the entertainment industry, and well-wishers to contribute toward helping Ngozi Nwosu undergo the remaining surgeries.
According to him, while the governor’s assistance marks a significant step forward, more support will be required to ensure the actress receives all the medical care she needs.
Ngozi Nwosu Revealed Three-Week Hospital Battle
The latest development follows an emotional appeal made by Ngozi Nwosu after she disclosed that she had been hospitalized for three weeks due to a serious medical condition.
The veteran actress shared a photograph from her hospital bed, describing how difficult it was to publicly ask for help. However, she explained that the severity of her health situation left her with no alternative.
