Sokoto State Governor, Tambuwal Visits Hospital At 2:00am, Catches Staffs Unaware

The Sokoto State Governor, Aminu
Tambuwal, early Sunday morning,
paid an unscheduled visit to the
Murtala Muhammed state Specialist
hospital, Sokoto, where he lamented
the condition of patients and
warned that government will not
tolerate laxity from any of its
workers.
The visit, which occurred at 2.00
a.m. On Sunday, caught the few
workers on duty unaware.
A statement by Mr. Tambuwal’s
spokesperson, Imam Imam, said
upon entering the hospital, the
governor observed that there was no
electricity supply while many
patients, who could not withstand
the heat in their wards, lied down
outside the designated wards.
“After going round the dark
complex for 30 minutes to assess
things for himself, Tambuwal was
then recognized by a few of the staff
on duty. Upon noticing his presence,
the generator set was quickly
powered on while the staff made
attempts to hurry the patients into
the rooms,” the statement added.
After speaking to the patients and
wishing them quick recovery,
Governor Tambuwal assured them
that their health needs would not be
toyed with by the government.
He also admonished the staff on
duty to fear God, and warned that
any repeat of what he saw at the
hospital by any government worker
will be met with appropriate
sanctions.
He said unscheduled visits at odd
hours to government agencies will
continue so as to acquaint himself
with how workers fulfill their
obligations to the people.
