As part of activities marking the 47th independence anniversary celebrations, wife of the president, Hajiya Turai Yar'Adua performed a one-day working visit to Abuja Children's Home Karu and the Asokoro General Hospital in Abuja Municipal Area Council, Monday.

The first lady, who donated assorted gift items which included toiletries and foodstuff to the Child Care Trust and patients at Asokoro General Hospital reiterated that emphasis should be given to the less privileged in the society.

She called on public-spirited individuals to have passion for the wards by extending love and affection to them through charity and philantrophic gestures, and wished Nigerians a happy independence celebration.
