Speaking during the visit, chief Sunday said that as a former vice chairman of the chaplaincy at NAUTH, he has a firsthand experience of what some of the patients go through which is why he asked his friends to do this project with him instead of a congratulatory newspaper publication.
He said, “there was a time someone asked me for N100 in this hospital and I gave the person N1000, the person ran away to hide, the person thought I made a mistake. This shows the level of distress in our community”. He urged the church to do more to help those in the hospital.
