Gov Ben Ayade of Cross River has donated a sum in the tune of N1 million and other gift items to the management of the General Hospital Calabar for the upkeep of the prison inmate who gave birth to twins at the hospital on Thursday, April 18.
Ayade, who was represented by the Commissioner for Health, Dr Inyang Asibong, said on Saturday in Calabar that the gesture was a special Easter gift to the mother of the twins; a boy and girl.
Ayade noted that in the spirit of the Easter season, the beautiful babies deserve love and care.
Ayade said that in line with his welfare policy and love for children, the twins would be named after him and his wife, Ben and Linda Ayade.
