Tinubu Approves Conversion of Dalhatu Araf Hospital to Federal University Lafia Teaching Hospital
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has given his approval for the takeover and transformation of Dalhatu Araf Specialist Hospital in Lafia into the Federal University of Lafia Teaching Hospital, located in Nasarawa State.
This decision comes in response to a formal request from the Nasarawa State Government, as outlined in a statement issued by Ajuri Ngelale, Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity.
Ngelale noted that the conversion would not only enhance the academic and practical training of students in medical and allied health sciences but also significantly improve healthcare services across the state.
The statement further emphasized President Tinubu’s dedication to advancing the social welfare and healthcare security of all Nigerians.
It also highlighted the administration’s commitment to sustaining investment and reforms in the healthcare sector to improve access and quality.
This development follows a recent expression of concern by the Nasarawa State House of Assembly in November 2023 regarding the management of Dalhatu Araf Specialist Hospital.
The Assembly raised issues about the hospital exceeding its approved budget under the leadership of Dr. Hassan Ikrama.
These concerns were voiced during an oversight visit to the state-owned hospital, where lawmakers scrutinized the hospital’s financial management and expressed dissatisfaction with its operations.
Nigerian pastor and overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church, Pastor Tunde Bakare, addresses and reacts to the current happenings of the country regarding the kidnapping and the abductions.
The pastor urges the government on steps they can take to solve and help the people of the country. “The Nigerian government has a clear and urgent duty to protect these Middle Belt communities, who have carried the weight of violence for far too long.”
“Rather than play the ostrich and cover up clear terrorism as mere farmer-herder clashes, the Nigerian state has a responsibility to invade the camps of armed marauders who hide under the cloak of herdsmen of whatever ethnicity, and who invade defenceless communities and gleefully massacre unarmed men, women and children.”
US President Donald Trump criticizes the Nigeria government once again after the increase of insecurity over the past few days. The president stated that the government is failing to protect Christian communities from the attacks going on.
“Nigeria is a disgrace. The whole thing is a disgrace,” Trump said. “They’re killing people by the thousands. It’s a genocide, and I’m really angry about it. And we pay, you know, we give a lot of subsidies to Nigeria. We’re going to end up stopping.”
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar speaks out against the rising insecurity in the country. He urged the government to take action and claimed that it is not too late to declare a state of emergency.
He reacted after another news of abduction of students was announced on the 21st of November.
“How many more lives must be shattered before decisive action is taken? It is not too late for the government to finally declare a state of emergency on insecurity and confront this menace with the urgency it deserves.”
