Bishop Ibezim receives ambulance from Ngige for St Faith hospital

The All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate for Anambra Central Senatorial zone, Senator Chris Ngige, has donated a Nissan Ambulance and two wheel chairs to St. Faith Hospital owned by Anglican Communion in Awka, the state capital.

The Senator, who is a Knight of the Catholic Church, made the donation during his campaign tour of the senatorial district.

He said the donation was part of his contributions towards providing equipment for the operations of the hospital.

Senator Ngige had earlier paid courtesy call on the Anglican Bishop of Awka, The Right Reverend Alexander Ibezim at his Emmaus House residence, Awka.

After a brief meeting, the Anglican Bishop, along with members of the building committee, conducted the Senator round the premises of a multi-million naira specialist hospital under construction and St. Faith Hospital, Awka.

Bishop Ibezim told the Senator that the church decided to establish a specialist hospital with state-of-the-art facilities and equipment to discourage people from wasting their money seeking for better medical treatment outside the country.

He said the completion and full operation of the hospital would expand God’s kingdom, even as he solicited financial and material contributions from wealthy individuals and corporate organisations to actualise the gigantic project.

In his response, Senator Ngige commended Bishop Ibezim for conceiving such a noble venture and promised to render substantial assistance through Chris Ngige Foundation and his constituency projects distribution.

Earlier, the Medical Director of St. Faith Hospital,  Dr. Emmanuel Ekwunife, praised Senator Ngige for his accomplishments in the Senate.

and acknowledged his several constituency projects especially scholarship awards which have touched the lives of many indigent parents.

He said: “Obvious, touching lives is what leadership is all about, your qualities, achievements, and contributions are too numerous to recount”
