The couple who gave birth to a set of quintuplets in Awka received N2 million, according to the governor of Anambra State, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo.
Ify Obinabo, the state’s commissioner for women’s issues and social welfare, revealed this on Monday in her office.
Obinabo stated that the Onitsha-based couple, Mr. and Mrs. Tochukwu Amaechi, received the help after giving birth to a set of quintuplets at the Life International Hospital in Awka.
She continued by saying that the funds, which were being handled by the government, were a sign of goodwill for the quintuplets, three males and two females, who were born on March 29, 2023.
She said the support would be sent to the family immediately after the ministry was done processing it.
In an interview, the mother, Chidinma Amaechi, told The ANAEDOONLINE about her journey to the delivery of her quintuplets and the mixed feelings and challenges thereafter.

She narrated how she prayed for a set of twins, but God gave her five babies.
“After waiting for nine years for children, I started praying to God for twins or miracle babies that would shock the world after the long awaited years, but I did not expect that they would be up to five.
“In all of these, I still give God the glory because He alone can do it, although, it is not easy to cater to five children at the same time, but we are looking unto God and well spirited individuals to come to our rescue,” she told The ANAEDOONLINE.
