— Health
The popular saying that “health is wealth” implies that a healthy society is a wealthy society.
It is disheartening to observe that our senatorial society is far from being healthy because basic health amenities have been eluding us since our advent as a geo-political entity.
Other contemporaries of ours are living in abundance of health facilities while we are here groaning with only one functional General Hospital and a Cottage Hospital to cater for five local government areas. Worse still, most local government health centers are abysmally dilapidated and the few structurally good ones are grossly understocked with drugs, vaccines and other medical equipments. The consequence of this unacceptable trend is high rate of mortality within our populace.
To stem this tide of high mortality rate, I deem it mandatory to rise to the occasion through personal intervention.
My remedial measures will be the rehabilitation of two health centers in the individual local government areas and thereafter supply of drugs and other medical equipments to the rehabilitated centers.
These measures will complement the health amenities brought by the Federal Government through the instrumentality of my position as a senator.
It is interesting to remark that the following projects have been earmarked for execution:
- Primary Health Clinic at Nwonkyo in Wukari Local Government Area
- Primary Health Clinic at Fikyu in Ussa Local Government Area
- Primary Health Clinic at Rafin-Soja in Wukari Local Governemt Area
