Dr. Adamu Umar Sambo, Bauchi’s Commissioner of Health has warned staff against unwarranted absence from work.
He said he will not tolerate this act under his watch.
He made this known during an unscheduled visit to Geljaule, Gumau, Rishi, Zalau, and Rahama Primary Health Care Centers in the state over the weekend.
According to him, he met only two staff at each of the PHCCs.
'I am very angry with what I saw today in our facilities across the district. In most of the places I visited, the personnel were not on duty, I met less than 2 personnel in each of the facilities I visited, and most of them were volunteer workers, not staff.
'Therefore, the administration of Bala Muhammad Abdulkadir will not take this intolerable act for granted and we will surely sanction the offenders,' Sambo said.
In a similar report by Trinube Newspaper, Dr Adamu explained that Governor Bala Muhammad's administration is committed to implementing policies and programs that will help in changing the state’s health sector narratives.
According to him, the governor promised to provide conducive healthcare facilities to the citizens.
'The administration of Bala Muhammad Abdulkadir is committed to implementing policies and programs that can change the state health sector narrative to a global standard, hence the need is to provide conducive healthcare facilities to the citizens. Therefore, we won’t take absenteeism and late coming for granted,' Sambo added.
Conflict Reporting is dangerous and risky. Our reporters constantly face life-threatening challenges, sometimes surviving ambushes, kidnap attempts and attacks by the whiskers as they travel and go into communities to get authentic and firsthand information. But we dare it every day, nonetheless, in order to keep you informed of the true situation of the victims, the trends in the conflicts and ultimately help in peace building processes. But these come at huge cost to us. We are therefore appealing to you to help our cause by donating to us through any of the following means. You can also donate working tools, which are even more primary to our work. We thank you sincerely as you help our cause.
