The Abia State Government has paid N25 million for the medical treatment of veteran Nollywood actress Ngozi Nwosu, who is currently battling an undisclosed ailment.

The Governor’s Senior Special Assistant on Tourism and Entertainment, Dr Justice Okey Martins, popularly known as JMartins, disclosed this in a statement released on social media via his X handle on Thursday, July 30.

According to JMartins, the payment was made directly to the hospital

‘’PAYMENT MADE TO THE HOSPITAL

Last week, the 62-year-old actress appealed to Nigerians to help her raise N30 million for three urgent surgeries after revealing that she had been hospitalised for three weeks and could no longer cope with the cost of her treatment.

In an emotional video shared on her Instagram page, Nwosu pleaded with fans, family members and colleagues not to abandon her.
