Touched by the condition of Mr. Harry and his family, who were currently homeless and indebted to the hospital, Barasua promised to influence some support for their rehabilitation.

Congratulating Mr. and Mrs. Amrabure for the arrival of their baby, the Vice Chairman sued for dedication and commitment in the upbringing of the girl-child.

The baby of the year, who arrived at 11:13am on January 1^st, 2019, and was the only child born in Bonny in 2019 as at the time of this report, and yet unnamed when the Vice Chairman visited, was showered with gifts and cash in presence of her appreciative parents.
