Zamfara gov delivers on healthcare promise, renovates hospital

Zamfara State Governor, Dauda Lawal has reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to ensure that projects of utmost importance are given the highest priority.

Lawal made the commitment while inaugurating the renovated general hospital in Maru Local Government Area.
This was according to a statement on Sunday by the spokesperson to the governor, Sulaiman Idris.

The statement noted that Lawal’s administration is in the process of renovating and equipping all the general hospitals across the state.

It added that while inspecting the infrastructure and the advanced medical equipment provided at the Maru General Hospital, Governor Lawal stated that his mission was to provide a state-of-the-art healthcare environment that caters to the needs of the people by ensuring that quality medical services are accessible and affordable to all.

He said, “The renovation works carried out in this hospital include upgrading the facilities to ensure that the people of Maru and its environs have access to decent healthcare. The renovation has modernised the physical structure and integrated advanced medical technologies and systems.

“This holistic approach ensures that the General Hospital Maru is well-equipped to handle various medical conditions, from routine check-ups to complex surgeries. The staff in this hospital are now better equipped to deliver care services that meet the highest standards.

“Our mission is to provide a state-of-the-art healthcare environment that caters to the needs of our people by ensuring that quality medical services are accessible and affordable to all. Aside from the renovation, this project includes providing 39-kilowatt solar power to ensure a reliable power supply to the hospital, which is crucial for the continuous operation of medical equipment and the comfort of patients.

“In addition, 35 streetlights have been installed at various locations of the hospital premises and its surroundings to enhance security and visibility, making the hospital environment safer for everyone. I sincerely hope that the people of Maru and the entire Zamfara State will fully utilise these facilities. I have directed the Ministry of Health to take adequate measures to maintain the hospital and its continuous operation.”

Former DSS Director’s Son, Abba Bichi Debunks False Claims of Fleeing After Alleged $2 Million Theft (video)

Abba Bichi, son of former Director General of the Department of State Services (DSS), Yusuf Bichi, has refuted claims circulating on an online news portal that he is on the run after allegedly stealing $2 million from his father.

The news, widely dismissed as fake, alleged that Abba fled with the stolen money. However, Abba, a professional footballer currently based in Abuja and exploring club opportunities in Germany, addressed the rumors in a podcast recorded inside a stadium in Germany.

In a video released online, Abba could be heard speaking to his father after his team had lost a match. His father, Yusuf Bichi, offered words of encouragement, saying, “In life, you win some and lose some.” The exchange also involved Abba’s coach, identified as Mr. Thomas, who mentioned that their next match would be against Bayer Leverkusen. Yusuf Bichi expressed optimism about the upcoming game, showing his continuous support for his son’s career.

The false report is the latest in a series of online attacks aimed at tarnishing the image of the former DSS boss, who served in his role for over six years with distinction.

Saudi striker al-Muwallad in intensive care after falling off balcony

Saudi international striker Fahad al-Muwallad has been placed in intensive care after plummeting off the balcony of his residence in Dubai, Saudi and Emirati authorities said Sunday.

The 30-year-old, who played in the 2018 World Cup but was withdrawn from the 2022 squad due to a doping ban, fell from his second-storey flat while on holiday in the emirate according to the Dubai government media office

It added Muwallad as a result was “in intensive care at a hospital in Dubai”.

The Saudi consulate in Dubai confirmed in a statement on X early Sunday it was informed of an “accident at (Muwallad’s) private residence… on Thursday”.

The consulate “is following the investigations conducted with the police” in Dubai, it said in a statement posted on X.

Muwallad plays for Saudi side Al-Shabab, whose captain travelled to Dubai to check on Muwallad’s condition, the club said.

Saudi newspaper Al-Madina meanwhile pointed to “criminal suspicions”, citing “informed sources”.

Before joining Al-Shabab, the striker played for Jeddah’s Al-Ittihad and enjoyed a successful international career, scoring 17 goals in 74 international matches.

He has, though, also had a chequered career in terms of doping, serving two bans.

The first in May 2019 and the latest between March 2022 and September 2023, after testing positive for furosemide, a diuretic that masks the presence of anabolic steroids and is banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).
