The Kano State Government has released N6.4 million for the treatment abroad of two children who were involved in a motor accident recently in the state.
The Chairman of the Interim Management Committee of Madobi Local Government Area, Alhaji Auwalu Tudunwada, disclosed this at a press briefing in Kano on Saturday.
The children are Jamilu Ahmed and Idris Yunusa from Madobi Local Government Area of the state.
Tudunwada said the money had since been handed over to the children’s parents to enable them travel immediately to India for the treatment of their wards.
“The children will undergo brain treatment in India following the brain injury they sustained during the accident,” he said.
Tudunwada said Yunusa’s treatment would gulp N4 million while Ahmed’s treatment would cost N2.4 million.
He commended the state governor, Alhaji Rabi’u Kwankwaso, for approving the money, describing the approval “as a humanitarian gesture”.
The chairman also thanked the state Deputy Governor, Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje, “for facilitating the money’s release in his capacity as the Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs”.
Also, Tudunwada expressed the local council’s intention to rehabilitate its 18 health centres in order to enhance healthcare delivery to the people.
