Governor Uba Sani

Governor Uba Sani has continued to design policies and programmes that reflect his campaign promises by prioritising the welfare of the poor and vulnerable, according to his Principal Private Secretary, Prof. Bello Ayuba.

Speaking in Zaria at the weekend during the delivery of medical equipment to the Unguwan Liman Ward clinic by the Health Services Management Board, Prof. Ayuba said the governor’s initiatives are aimed at ensuring that every segment of society benefits from government.

“Governor Uba Sani has the interest of the vulnerable and the poor at heart and will always ensure that government programmes specifically target them,” Ayuba stressed, adding that democracy cannot thrive without the masses, who must be factored into every policy.

The equipment supplied included hospital beds, maternity and natal items, examination tables and screens.

Ayuba, who hails from Unguwan Liman Ward, said the intervention followed appeals from residents who previously had to travel long distances for basic healthcare.

He assured that drugs and consumables would soon follow.

On concerns that a road project earlier flagged off in the community had been abandoned, Ayuba dismissed such claims as “mischief,” noting that contractors have already received about 70 per cent of the contract sum while compensation has been approved for affected property owners.

He urged residents to remain patient, assuring them that the administration would deliver all promised amenities. He also called for prayers for the success of the governor in his efforts to develop both rural and urban areas.

Earlier, Zonal Coordinator of the Health Services Management Board, Dr. Abdullahi Sule, urged the community to protect the new facilities against theft and vandalism.

In her remarks, Dr. Hauwa Mahmud, Secretary of Zaria Area Council Health Authority, expressed confidence that the equipment would improve healthcare delivery at the clinic.

Ward elders led by Malam Muhammad Tukur Ahmed thanked the government for the intervention and appealed for the clinic’s upgrade to a primary healthcare centre.

They also advised residents to make full use of the facility so that government can assess and provide additional services.
