NIMASA DONATES ITEMS TO HOSPITALS AND SCHOOLS IN PLATEAU STATE
NIMASA
Assistant Director, Special Duties (External Relations & Technical
Cooperation), Mr Daniel Kajo, said the gesture was part of the agency’s
Corporate Social Responsibility to society.
Kajo
said the gesture was in line with the vision of NIMASA under the leadership, it's Director-General, Dr Bashir Jamoh.
“This
year, the agency has decided to intervene in all federation states.
“We
are intervening in four areas; provision of hospital equipment, provision of
educational items, support to security agencies and distribution of relief
materials.
“This
year, Plateau is the beneficiary of hospital equipment and educational items,” he
explained.
The
assistant director, said the distribution that was inaugurated at the Olusegun
Obasanjo Model Jos and Plateau Specialist Hospital, Jos, would be extended to
other schools and hospitals.
According
to him, public schools that seem to have been neglected would be the ones to
benefit.
“After
the inauguration, Plateau State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA) would
continue with the distribution in the schools and hospitals we have identified
with their support,” he added.
Plateau
SEMA Acting Executive Secretary, Mr Chuwang Sha, said that the assessment of
schools and hospitals to benefit has been concluded.
“The
benefitting schools and hospitals have already been identified. So, the items
have already been allocated and will simply just be conveyed.
“Within
this week or next, each benefitting school and hospital will get the
materials.
“After
the distribution, we will make a comprehensive record of everything we have
distributed and then send it to NIMASA,” he said.
SHA thanked NIMASA for partnering with the agency to reach out to the people of
Plateau, particularly the less-privileged ones.
Chief
Medical Director, Plateau Specialist Hospital, Jos, Dr Philemon Golwa, thanked
NIMASA for coming to their aid.
Golwa
said that the agency’s intervention was timely as all equipment donated was
urgently needed in the hospital.
“All
the items you brought touch every aspect of clinical health. I can see wheelchairs, surgical sets (major and minor), telescopes, stretchers and a whole lot
of other materials.
“I
think it is the holistic arrangement and as soon as you disappear from here, we are
going to channel them to the appropriate units for immediate usage,” he stated.
The
elated CMD added that it was God’s divine arrangement for NIMASA to come to the Plateau Hospital for the benefit of humanity.
The
educational materials donated include whiteboards, books, school bags, socks
and writing materials, among many others.
