Former Super Eagles Star and coach, Henry Nwosu, will forever be grateful to the Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-olu who saved him and gave him another lease of life after being bedridden with stroke and other related ailments which left him with slurred speech. The former midfielder who played for Nigeria’s senior national football team for 11 years and was also part of the Green Eagles at AFCON 1982, 1984 and 1988 is gradually recovering, thanks to the timely intervention of the governor.
Nwosu, who was receiving treatment at the Asaba Specialist Hospital, Asaba last year was eventually moved to Lagos State after his health kept deteriorating. On Sanwo-olu’s instance after Nwosu reached out to him, the top management of the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital performed a delicate surgery on the football star. Sanwo-olu did not stop there, he personally settled the bills incurred throughout Nwosu’s stay in the hospital. Even after being discharged from the hospital, the governor paid a visit to Nwosu’s residence to check up on him and further gave more financial assistance from his own pocket for his upkeep.
