Veteran Nollywood actress, Ngozi Nwosu, has received a major lifeline after Abia State Governor, Alex Otti, approved the payment of the first phase of her medical expenses following her emotional public appeal for financial assistance.
The actress had recently revealed that she had been hospitalised for three weeks and required three life-saving surgeries estimated to cost about ₦30 million, pleading with fans, colleagues and well-wishers not to let her die as the financial burden had become overwhelming.
The governor’s intervention was announced by his Senior Special Assistant on Tourism and Entertainment, Martins Justice, popularly known as JMartins, who disclosed that Otti had approved the first tranche of the actress’s medical bills.
“His Excellency @alexottiofr has just stepped in on the health issues of our Nollywood legendary actress Mrs. Ngozi Nwosu to approve the first part of her medical bills,” JMartins wrote in a post on X.
