365Daily– The Director General of Budget Office of thw Federation and former Commissioner for Economic Planning and Budget in Lagos State, Ben Akabueze, has welcomed a baby boy with his wife who is over 50 years of age.
The DG broke the news via a Facebook post where he also expressed gratitude to God for blessing his family.
He posted: “I bless the name of the Lord for His blessing to my family in the gift of our son, Kachiside! No sorrow shall ever be added to this blessing to my family.
“However, I believe this blessing is not just for my family. My wife is in the second half of 50s in age. Yet she bore this pregnancy to full term, without even one morning of sickness!
“This should serve as encouragement to someone who may have given up hope, or is on the verge of doing so, on account of age. God’s promises for such a one will yet come to pass, if they hold on to and act on His word!”
