State House Budget: Stop Buhari from medical trips – Senate tells State House Officials
The Nigerian Senate has expressed that President Muhammadu Buhari and other top government officials should no longer engage in foreign medical trips.
This position was adopted by the Senate Committee on Federal Character and Intergovernmental Affairs when the State House permanent secretary, Tijani Umar appeared before it to defend the 2021 budget figures for the State House on Thursday
According to reports, out of the N19.7bn total budget for the State House, N1.3bn was reserved for the State House Clinic, this prompted the lawmakers to declare that President Buhari and other top government officials that have access to the State House Clinic should be prevented from embarking on foreign medical trips so the State House clinic can be more functional.
The Chairman of the Senate panel, Senator Danjuma La’ah, said the committee would approve the budget for the State House Clinic but reiterated the recommendation that the President and other top officials of his government should no longer be flown abroad for medical treatment.
That will be good news… They should also appreciate our own medical practionals…
Please let Baba buhari go for medical checkup trip o,if not he will die very soon.
If this is true I really love it
They should stop them from travelling outside the country for medical check-ups. They should do Nigerian hospitals wella.
the president does not value or encourage his people rather he take pleasure in flying out wasting millions going abroad for medical checkups
I hope it will work because in the last five years, they have been budgeting billion for aso rock clinic without nothing to show for it.
This is high time to let everything works in Nigeria, we have hospitals which can’t be patronized by our politicians and so on. When are we going to be making use of our indigenous product. Haba.
Hope later the huge amount of money budgeted for this clinic won’t be siphoned by few people. At those politicians should be doing whatever they want to do in the country.
If they can stay in Nigeria and be treated it will be ok and Even their children also should be schooling in Nigeria.
Good news , at least we now have a medical clinic
So stay to receive medications for the clinic to be more functional
I wonder why these so called leaders of us should keep our health care system here in a sorry condition and always run our time after time to foreign lands to get treatment from good health facilities put in place by other leaders as them
It is so shameful
You see the kind of money that goes into a clinic that has no paracetamol. I this government is more corrupt than any other government ever. I pray you people can stand and make sure that money is used to equip that clinic
if only u people can do that is a very good idea
Better, if they are stopped bcos they are consuming a lot of money for it
That’s a good news, It help to develop our health centres.
That’s interesting, I love this . Let the money that was reserve for official clinic be useful for them in Nigeria, instead of going to abroad for self treatment… President muhammadu buhari should not move an inch from this country called Nigeria for any medical treatment.
Good to hear
He should stay and see the calamity that has befallen his people
