President Muhammadu Buhari Sunday in Abuja took succour to survivors of
Friday night’s bomb attacks on Nyanya and Kuje in the Federal Capital
Territory.
On a visit to the survivors of the attack who are receiving treatment at
the Trauma Centre of the National Hospital, President Buhari wished them
full and speedy recovery.
The President reassured the survivors that the Federal Government will
take full responsibility for settling their medical bills.
He also directed his Chief of Staff, Mallam Abba Kyari to settle the
N268,790.00 medical bill of a young girl in the Paediatric Ward of the
hospital.
The girl’s mother, Deborah Stephen, had broken into tears on seeing
President Buhari. She told him that her daughter had been shot by armed
robbers who raided their home and that the family could not afford the
medical bills.
The President who was accompanied by his personal aides and Governor
Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun State, visited the intensive care unit, the
paediatric unit and general wards of the National Hospital.
Expressing his appreciation of the President’s visit, the Chief Medical
Director of the National Hospital, Dr Jafaru Momoh said that it will help
the patients’ recovery by giving them a greater psychological sense of
being valued and loved by their country.
