The wife of Ondo State Governor, Mrs Betty Anyanwu-Akeredolu has extended a hand of help to the families of the two sets of triplets that were born at Ikare Akoko in Akoko North East Local Government Area of Ondo State recently.

Mrs Akeredolu who was represented by the wife of the chairman of the council, Mrs Omowumi Omojola on Thursday presented baby food items worth N200,000 baby diapers and a cash gift to each set of the triplets at different locations in Ikare Akoko.

At Okeegbe street, the family of Bayegun Ojo who had the first set of triplet expressed joy for the gifts given to them, adding that it will go a long way in putting smiles to their faces.

Mr Bayegun noted that the provision of modern medical equipments at the State Specialist Hospital, Ikare Akoko, made it possible for his wife to have normal and safe delivery.

Mrs. Akeredolu encouraged the mother to embark on exclusive breastfeeding and eat balanced diet.

The wife of the governor encouraged pregnant and nursing mothers to always patronize government owned medical facilities rather than going to quacks.

She said that the government of Ondo state has invested heavily in the health sector for the benefit of the people of the state.

Responding a community leader at Ikado area of Ikare, Elder James Oladetohun commended Governor Akeredolu and his wife for their interest in Ikare which is manifesting in the dualisation of the township road and Oke-Alabojuto hill which had for long been a death trap in the town.

Oladetohun expressed appreciation for the gifts given to the triplets.
