For his part, the Uvwie Council Chairman Honourable Ranson Onoyake who was represented by the Secretary of the Council Elder Margaret Obiko said that his administration is passionate at identifying with both physically challenged persons and able body persons.

Honourable Ranson Onoyake expressed joy that the three beneficiaries with their brand new wheelchairs will no longer have to crawl on the floor while moving.

The three elated physically challenged persons Helen Oke, Umukoro Eloho and Collins Onaijomo in their separate interviews said that movement has been very difficult for them in the past.

They thanked the governor's wife Dame Edith Okowa who through her O5 Initiative has come to their aids in providing them with the new wheelchairs.

Helen Oke, Umukoro Eloho and Collins Onaijomo who all came crawling are now leaving riding on their wheelchairs.
