Madam Commissioner went further to explain that the government of Prof Chukwuma Soludo will not only sensitize the public on the threatening situations surrounding the health and economic well-being of sickle cell patient but will go the extra mile to give support and attend to their needs.

Aisha Edwards-Maduagwu urged the honorable commissioner to help them especially in the area of high medical costs for treatment and other related problems.

The association later took a group photograph with women and social welfare boss.
