First lady of Ekiti State, Mrs Feyisetan Fayose, on Thursday, urged women, mothers and caregivers to take proper care of their children and wards, especially during this rainy season.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the governor’s wife gave this advice when she visited the state specialist hospitals at Ikole Ekiti and Ijero-Ekiti to offset the hospital bills for some indigent patients.
She cautioned women, especially mothers, not to send their children on errands during the rain because of the dangers inherent in it.
Mrs Fayose also advised them to always ensure that their children wore warm clothings and good sweaters so as not to expose their bodies to cold, thereby saving the cost of hospitalisation.
The Chief Medical Director of the Specialist Hospital, Ikole -Ekiti, Dr Tunde Rosiji, appreciated the governor’s wife for putting smiles on the faces of the indigent patients, who could not afford their hospital bills.
