The Akwa Ibom Governor, Pastor Umo Eno has waded into the plight of the family of the late Nollywood make-up artist, Abigail Edith Frederick, who drowned recently at the tributary of the River Niger, Anam River in Anambra State.
The governor gave three siblings of the deceased automatic job and free education.
Abigail drowned with her colleagues and crew members while being ferried to a movie location over the river.
She was hurriedly buried at the Anam river bank following parent’s reported inability to shoulder the cost of evacuating her remains home for proper burial.
But on the intervention of the governor, her remains were exhumed, evacuated home and properly buried at her hometown, Ikot Udoma village in Eket local government area.
While commiserating with the family, Governor Eno offered automatic employment to the surviving elder sister for immediate enrolment as one of the employees in the state’s civil service.
The governor also offered to pay for the education of two other undergraduate siblings of the late actress, currently in the universities.
Governor Eno ordered the immediate renovation of the family house and charged his senior special assistant (SSA) on humanitarian affairs, Umo Ekpo, to ensure the house meets modern standard.
