The National President of Nyuwar Community Development Association, Mr. Galiyos Zullums has described the ongoing renovation of the 35 year old cottage hospital in Nyuwar district of Gombe State by the administration of Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya as a demonstration of exemplary and selfless leadership that must be supported and commended by all and sundry.
Mr. Galiyos Zullums stated this while addressing Journalists on the renovation work currently going on at the hospital and the ecstasy that greeted the community as a result of the complete overhaul of the health facility.
“This briefing calls for sober reflection because it is on record that Nyuwar community had on several occasions written to past administrations in the State soliciting for their intervention towards the renovation of the hospital but all pleas fell on deaf ears. However this administration of Governor Inuwa Yahaya even without a request, surprised the people of Nyuwar by embarking on the complete overhaul of the hospital built since the Tatari administration in the old Bauchi state. So this to us, is a dream come true”.
The National President of Nyuwar Community Development Association who recalled with nostalgia the functioning days of the cottage hospital said the facility was a beacon of medical service to the people of Nyuwar, Jessu, Cham, Degri and other adjoining communities, including those in Adamawa State.
“The hospital was well built and structured and the services were top notch, people came from far and near to seek for medical attention, I also did patronize the hospital at my youthful age but due to gradual neglect of the facility things took a dip to the extent that some portions of the hospital were over taken by dangerous reptiles”.
Mr Zullums revealed that the Nyuwar community made several advances to the State and even Federal Government but to no avail, describing the sudden renovation of the health facility by the present administration of Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya as a soothing relief.Â
He said the people of Nyuwar are still in disbelief knowing fully well how previous administrations treated their pleas for the renovation of the hospital with disdain.
“As the National President of Nyuwar Community Development Association, I was in the community to see things for myself and I can tell you that the pulse of the people is that of a grateful heart to the present administration of Governor Yahaya”.
He said experience has taught him overtime that most administrations in the country will only attend to the needs of the people after too much politicking and lobbying, saying in the case of Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya the reverse is the case.
He commended the Gombe State Governor for his interventionist efforts and called on the people of the area to support him for more dividends of democracy.
