The Member representing Maiha, Mubi North, Mubi South federal constituency, Hon Ja'afaru Abubakar Magaji, has applauded the Federal Government for establishing and sustaining Federal Medical Centres Mubi in Adamawa State.
Hon Ja'afaru in an interview with journalists said that President Bola Tinubu is to be particularly commended for ensuring that the process of establishing the two medical centres, commenced before he came to power, does not suffer delay.
He expressed joy especially about a recent signing of a memorandum of understanding when the federal government officially took over the sites of the centres from the Adamawa State Government.
The Reps member said, "I am delighted about the signing of MoU between the federal government and the Adamawa State Government.
"In some of these instances, there may be no mutual understanding, more so because of the political differences (between President Tinubu and Governor Ahmadu Fintiri). Luckily enough in this case the state government and the federal government are on one page."
Recall that it was President Muhammadu Buhari who signed the bills establishing the two medical centres, Hon Magaji said, "We appreciate President Buhari who signed the hills into law and President Tinubu who is ensuring smooth implementation of the laws regarding the two institutions."
It would be recalled that the Federal and Adamawa state governments have signed Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for the conversion of Cottage Hospital Hong and General Hospital Mubi to Federal Medical Centers.
Signing the agreement on behalf of the state, Friday in Yola, Deputy Governor, Professor Kaletapwa Farauta said state government is mindful of federal government policies, especially the ones that benefit the people of the state.
Farauta noted that the state government couldn't say no when the two health institutions were asked to be handed over to the federal government, due to its numerous benefits to the people of the state.
She appealed to the federal government to consider carrying along people from the state for employment into the services of the two FMCs.
'When finally, these institutions take off, we want asked that our people are the ones to be used in populating the FMCs because they cited in Adamawa".
The deputy governor, assured of state government support form the institutions to thrive in complement state government efforts in the health sector.
" I want thank federal government for adding value to the efforts of the state government in health sector.
Earlier, Minister of Health Prof Muhammad Ali Pate reitrated providing quality health care as top most agenda of the federal government to it citizens.
Speaking for the minister, Daju Kachollom, Permanent Secretary, federal ministry of health said the signing of the deal ends two years process of the conversion and the beginning of transition into another stage of providing health service delivery.
