Veteran Nollywood actress Ngozi Nwosu is preparing to undergo the first of three planned surgeries next week after receiving widespread support from Nigerians following her public appeal for financial assistance.
The update was shared by her management on Instagram two days after the actress disclosed that she was battling an undisclosed illness.
According to the management, the response from fans, friends, and well-wishers has been encouraging, and they expressed gratitude to everyone who has donated, prayed, sent messages, or reached out since the appeal went public.
They said the financial support received so far has helped move her treatment forward and confirmed that Ngozi Nwosu is currently being prepared for her first surgery, expected to take place sometime next week.
Although progress has been made, the management noted that more help is still needed to cover the remaining medical expenses.
They appealed to Nigerians and supporters worldwide to continue praying for the actress, share her story, and offer financial assistance where possible.
The statement read: “Dear Nigerians, fans, friends, and everyone who has shown love to our beloved veteran actress, Ngozi Nwosu, thank you. We are deeply grateful for the overwhelming support, prayers, donations, calls, messages, and kind words received so far. We are pleased to share that Ngozi Nwosu is doing well and is currently being prepared for her first surgery, scheduled for sometime next week.”
“While we have made meaningful progress, we still need your continued support. Please keep her in your prayers, continue to share her story, and, if you are able, support her financially,” the statement concluded.
