Minister Foots Actor Zach Orji’s Medical Expenses

Over the weekend, Uju Kennedy-Ohanenye, the Minister of Women Affairs and Social Development, pleaded with medical staff at the National Hospital in Abuja to preserve the life of well-known Nollywood actor Zach Orji.

After he was said to have slumped in his home in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) in Abuja on Friday, the seasoned actor was taken to the hospital.

It was revealed that the minister inspired the hospital staff to provide the top-tier actor with their very best care.

According to Tayo Hastrup, the hospital’s Public Relations Officer (PRO), Kennedy-Ohanenye gave the staff ample notice even before the actor arrived.

Hastrup said: “Two days ago, the minister called me to say that we should be prepared to receive Zach Orji. The minister even paid the deposit while pleading that we should be ready to receive him.

“He was brought in around 10 p.m, but by then we had made all the arrangements, though I wasn’t around.

“We got everything and everyone ready. When he was brought in, we received and admitted him.

“As we speak, I’m not certain about his condition. I can’t really say anything about that since I’m not around. But we are taking a very good care of him. That I’m certain about.”
