News reports circulated months ago that broadcaster, Emmanuel Ugolee, needed financial support to carry out a kidney transplant in the United States.

He is indeed grateful for the overwhelming financial and emotional support so far from well-meaning Nigerians.

Although, he didn’t attain the 50 million Naira mark, he is getting set to leave for the surgery as the Dollar rate has dropped considerably.

Speaking on the support he received, Emmanuel Ugolee said:

“It is touching to have such a spirit in people in these hard times”

He is still open to contributions as he prepares to go surgery soon.

It was gathered that he had struggled by himself with kidney failure for 5 years.
