Group applauds Buhari on infrastructural development in FMC Asaba

  

The Center for Peace, Transparency and Accountability (CPTA) has commended the Buhari-led administration for making key appointments that have been pivotal to the rapid transformation witnessed in the health sector.


This commendation was issued in a statement made available to newsmen on Tuesday, which was signed by the Executive Director of the Centre, Comrade Patrick Ogheneyero, after a three-day independent performance assessment visit to the Federal Medical Centre (FMC), Asaba, Delta state.


Ogheneyero stated that he was amazed at the level of commitment to rapidly bring quality and premier healthcare services to Delta state.


He also applauded the Minister of Health for his commitment to healthcare development both at the primary and tertiary levels, as well as the Chief Medical Director of the FMC), Asaba, Dr. Victor Osiatuma, for his patriotic approach towards uplifting the Centre to be ranked amongst the best in the country.


Ogheneyero described the appointment of Dr. Victor Osiatuma, who was appointed in 2015 as the Chief Medical Director (CMD), as a step in the right direction towards attaining the healthcare goal, as he is currently transforming the Centre into a model Federal hospital in the country, apparently fulfilling President Buhari’s infrastructural development goals.


Ogheneyero further called on the federal, state government and well meaning institutions to partner with, and support the Center, as building a standard healthcare system in the country should be the desire of everyone, even as he pledged that “the civil society community will from this moment work relentlessly toward advocating for the hospital and its management team as a way of sustaining the progress made thus far”.



The statement reads: “We are elated that Dr. Victor Osiatuma has strategically sorted out all union related issues that had made FMC Asaba prominent for strikes and periodic shutdown and also increased the output of the human capital through the employment of capable hands and training/retaining of the staff.


“In addition, Dr. Osiatuma has also made working in the hospital conducive as demonstrated by the quality infrastructural development witness in the course of this performance assessment. You will agree with me that FMC Asaba has become a model for others as the foresight and commitment by the current managers of the centre has yielded great results despite paucity of funds.


“Dr. Victor Osiatuma has handled outbreaks of diseases so intelligently that foreign health organizations and the government have come down to study the specific approach adopted by the hospital.


“We also have on ground, modern state of the art Medical equipment being deployed in the Centre for medical practice. These equipment include direct digital X–ray machines, Computed Tomography (CT scan) machine, endoscopy machine, laparoscopy machine for minimal access surgeries, Echocardiography machine, Electroencephalography machine, and many more.”

Stop inflicting economic hardship on Ebonyians with tax demands, ex-SSG implores Umahi

Former Secretary to the State Government of Ebonyi State, Professor Benard Odoh, has implored the Ebonyi State Governor, Engr. David Nweze Umahi, to desist from inflicting economic hardship on Ebonyians. In an open letter he made available to Paulokahblog Friday morning, Odoh said that, "as a way of cushioning the devastating effects of the covid-19 pandemic on Ebonyi’s struggling economy, there is urgent need to jettison the collection of tenement rates/ground rents from landlords, excessive/forceful drive for quarry haulage levies and waiving of personal income taxes".  Odoh regretted that, despite the efforts of the state government in policing its borders against the COVID-19 pandemic, Ebonyi State, as of May 21, has recorded 13 cases and expressed hope that the situation would not get worse in the state in particular and Nigeria in general, even as he pledged support for the state government in ensuring that the active cases are managed successfully "to t...

Don't quit by Edgar Albert Guest

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will, when the road you're trudging seems all uphill, when the funds are low and the debts are high, and you want to smile but you have to sigh, when care is pressing you down a bit - rest if you must, but don't you quit. Life is queer with its twists and turns. As everyone of us sometimes learns. And many a fellow turns about when he might have won had he stuck it out. Don't give up though the pace seems slow - you may succeed with another blow. Often the goal is nearer than it seems to a faint and faltering man; Often the struggler has given up when he might have captured the victor's cup; and he learned too late when the night came down, how close he was to the golden crown. Success is failure turned inside out - the silver tint of the clouds of doubt, and when you never can tell how close you are, it may be near when it seems afar; so stick to the fight when you're hardest hit - it's when things seem...
