Yobe State has been recording cases of kidney diseases over the recent years.
Mahmoud Bukar maina, special adviser on science, research, and innovation, is leading the research initiative to address the issue.
Maina will collect samples from 2,000 individuals in Bade and Damaturu LGAs as part of the research effort.
He said the research aims to identify the root causes of kidney disease in Yobe State and find solutions to the problem.
Buni initiated an agreement with the United Kingdom that will facilitate the research project.
Dr. Baba Waru Goni, Chief Medical Director of Yobe State University Teaching Hospital, expressed gratitude to Buni for supporting the research initiative.
‘We are grateful to His Excellency, Governor Mai Mala Buni, for prioritizing healthcare in Yobe State, this research initiative is a testament to his commitment to improving the health and wellbeing of our people,’ he said.
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.
