The
Rivers State Government has opened an endowment fund for the 2 kids of Joseph
Blankson who saved 13 people in a boat accident.
A
boat Joseph had been riding in had capsized and one by one he saved 13
passengers, pulling them ashore. He had attempted saving the 14th person when,
exhausted, he drowned.
The
Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, shared on his Facebook that the endowment
fund was revealed while he received Blankson’s wife, children and extended
family at the Government House on Monday.
Joseph’s
wife, Mercy, was also employed by the Rivers State Government.
Wike
also donated to the burial of the late hero.
