President Muhammadu Buhari Sunday in
Abuja took succour to survivors of Friday night’s bomb attacks on Nyanya and
Kuje in the Federal Capital Territory.
On a visit to the survivors of the
attack who are receiving treatment at the Trauma Centre of the National Hospital,
President Buhari wished them full and speedy recovery.
The President reassured the survivors
that the Federal Government will take full responsibility for settling their
medical bills.
He also directed his Chief of Staff,
Mallam Abba Kyari to settle the N268,790.00 medical bill of a young girl in the
Paediatric Ward of the hospital.
The girl’s mother, Deborah Stephen, had
broken into tears on seeing President Buhari. She told him that her daughter
had been shot by armed robbers who raided their home and that the family could
not afford the medical bills.
The President who was accompanied by his
personal aides and Governor Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun State, visited the
intensive care unit, the paediatric unit and general wards of the National
Hospital.
Expressing his appreciation of the President's visit, the Chief
Medical Director of the National Hospital, Dr Jafaru Momoh said that it will
help the patients’ recovery by giving them a greater psychological sense of being valued
and loved by their country.
