“The clinic is a necessity. During a visit to the village, I saw a woman who was in labour and in distress. The nurse did not know the baby was breached as there were no facilities to discover this until the two legs of the baby came out. They had to put her in a taxi to visit a different hospital which was at another local government area three hours away… her legs still wide open with the baby’s legs hanging out of her private part. I had to do something about it and that is what spurred the birth of the Women and Children Clinic.” She told Arewa Agenda.
Residents of the Community have continued to express excitement and appreciation as they described the Deputy Speakers wife action as patroitic, noting that it is a heartwarming gesture to all lovers of progress.
