Gov AbdulRazaq of Kwara State
Kwara State Governor, Abdulrahman AbdulRazaq, has directed the immediate release of funds for medical emergencies involving 13 students of Kwara State origin at Usman Dan Fodio University, Sokoto.
The governor also sent a get-well-soon message to the students through his Special Assistant on Students Affairs, Wasiu Onidugbe.
A Government House statement released on Wednesday said that, “While eight of the students had varying degrees of bone fractures which are considered an emergency, including surgeries, five of them are to undergo other levels of medical treatment — all at the UDUS Teaching Hospital in Sokoto.
“The governor has immediately released N5,250,000.00 to cover the cost of tests, scans, and other procedures and treatments already itemised by the hospital.”
The students were involved in an auto crash along the Yauri-Sokoto Expressway in Kebbi State as they were returning to Sokoto.
“The driver of their car died in the accident,” the statement further said. (The PUNCH)
