Governor Babagana Umara Zulum of Borno State, on a one-day working visit, paid an unexpected visit to the General Hospital, Gwoza, Gwoza Local Government Area, southern Borno, at midnight hours, leading his way with torchlight.
Inspecting the facilities in the hospital, Governor Zulum expressing disappointment, declared: “It is unacceptable that a critical healthcare facility like this Gwoza General Hospital is deprived of basic amenities such as electricity.
“This situation compromises the quality of care provided to patients and hampers the efforts of our dedicated healthcare professionals. We are not here to trade blame, we are here to find solutions. Nobody brought to my knowledge the deplorable conditions of this place.”
The governor maintained: “I will neither exonerate myself nor the local government authority. We (all) have failed to provide what is needed.
“However, I want to assure you (patients and the rest of the people) that insha’Allah, we will fix this, we will make the working environment here better than it is now.”
The Governor responded to the sordid situation with directive for immediate commencement of rehabilitation of the facilities, power restoration at the General Hospital, Gwoza.
