PAP Administrator Covers Medical Bills for Ijaw Music Icon Sugar Ere Lizzy — 1 of 4
1 / 4

The Administrator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme, High Chief Dennis Brutu Otuaro, has funded the treatment of Ijaw music legend Sugar Ere Lizzy Famous. Best known for her 1996 hit Yeibiri, Sugar Ere Lizzy had been battling ill health before Miike Ekiye’s podcast highlighted her condition in Bomadi, Delta State. Within three days of the broadcast, Dr. Otuaro ordered her transfer to a leading Abuja hospital and took full responsibility for her medical bills. Stakeholders including Salvation Ibena Rufus and TVAFRICA24 CEO Barakumo Odede have praised this swift humanitarian response as a sign of compassionate leadership.

While funding for Sugar Ere Lizzy is welcome, it highlights a gap in sustained healthcare support for veteran musicians in the country.

I'm not convinced that relying on ad hoc funding from an amnesty programme is a reliable solution for artists' welfare needs.

Musicians need ongoing support beyond one-off funding; communities and industry stakeholders must establish reliable health funds and advocates make sure say legends like her never suffer again.
