Anambra State First Lady, Nonye Soludo, has expressed excitement over the recovery of inmates at the Anambra Rehabilitation Home in Nteje, Oyi Local Government Area of the state, with some of them certified medically fit to return home.
Soludo, who visited the rehabilitation home on Sunday, said she was inspired to see that the inmates had been trained in various skills and were demonstrating what they had learnt with confidence and remarkable skill.
During the visit, Soludo donated relief materials, other items and cash gifts to the inmates while wishing them well.
