The Minister of Youth and Sports Development Mr Sunday Dare has paid glowing tribute to the mother of late Super Eagles player Samuel Okwaraji, Lady Janet Okwaraji who passed on recently at the age of 83.
The minister expressed shock and disappointment that her death came shortly after the ministry had concluded plans for her monthly allowance.
“It is so sad and painful that she died when we had just visited her and placed her on a monthly welfare package. She was such a strong and courageous woman who took the death of her son in her strides. “Considering the circumstance of her son’s death, she exhibited a great spirit. May her soul rest in peace and may God console the family she left behind.” (DailyTrust)
