A 38-year old, Ifeanyi Onwuachu, has solicited N17 million support from well meaning Nigerians to enable him undergo a kidney transplant.
Onwuachu, in a statement in Abuja on Monday, said unless there was an urgent assistance from good-spirited Nigerians and corporate organisations, he might not survive.
“I wish to solicit for financial assistance to undergo a kidney transplant which is to cost about N17million.
