Tambuwal Visits Hospital At 2a.m., catches Sokoto Staff Unaware... by Nobody: 7:59pm On Jun 21, 2015
The Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Tambuwal, early Sunday morning, paid an unscheduled visit to the Murtala Muhammed state Specialist hospital, Sokoto, where he lamented the condition of patients and warned that government will not tolerate laxity from any of its workers.

The visit, which occurred at 2.00 a.m. On Sunday, caught the few workers on duty unaware.
A statement by Mr. Tambuwal’s spokesperson, Imam Imam, said upon entering the hospital, the governor observed that there was no electricity supply while many patients, who could not withstand the heat in their wards, lied down outside the designated wards.

“After going round the dark complex for 30 minutes to assess things for himself, Tambuwal was then recognized by a few of the staff on duty. Upon noticing his presence, the generator set was quickly powered on while the staff made attempts to hurry the patients into the rooms,” the statement added.
After speaking to the patients and wishing them quick recovery, Governor Tambuwal assured them that their health needs would not be toyed with by the government.

He also admonished the staff on duty to fear God, and warned that any repeat of what he saw at the hospital by any government worker will be met with appropriate sanctions.

He said unscheduled visits at odd hours to government agencies will continue so as to acquaint himself with how workers fulfill their obligations to the people.

Thats my governor, uncommon problems should be matched with uncommon solutions, its on record that the current Kaduna and fmr. Kano state governors paid similar nocturnal visits to hospitals in the recent past. The trio of Tambuwal, Kwankwaso & El-rufai are set to revolutionize the NW with their progressive policies and approach to governance.

Thank God for change.

Medical workers claim call duty, overtime and night allowances yet a careful check will reveal that such services are not rendered.

If you go at night, the driver will be sleeping, when you wake him up, he will tell you no petrol in the ambulance, doctors/nurses/pharmacist are giving accommodation on campus so that in emergency they can get to the clinic but when the emergency starts is when you will know how far.

At the end of the day I opine its a failure of leadership. If most of these personnel were adequately supervised and motivated, the outcome would surely be different. Corruption is another key element in this mess as the accountant or driver for example, would prefer to 'manage' the funds allocated for petrol for instance, so he could divert the unused monies. This is most likely why in the report for example, the generator was switched on as soon as they were aware of the Governors presence, meanwhile the patients were hitherto allowed to suffer in darkness despite the availability of fuel to power the generator.

Lazy Nigerian workers can really form activity when someone worthy is watching.

They never grow in knowledge too.
Anyway, I knw they re always like that though.

After so much observation, I can confidently say that most medical workers are paid night allowances just to go and sleep, and for overtime, some only stay past their closing hour so they can finish up a nollywood movie that's showing on the hospital reception screen.

If all our previous leaders had acted based on your 'eye service' principle, we'd have been at least a few steps ahead of where we are today

So without the governor or someone big coming, the generating set will not be powered for the patients some of whom are in pains. They were forced to stay outside because of harsh conditions. Until Nigerians take everyone as human being without discrimination, I am afraid this society is not becoming any better.

I hope Tambuwal knows the cost of 24hrs electric supply 65% of which is going to be on Diesel engine at this time of bleeding economy condition. What he observed was as a result of systemic collapse starting from the top. Good thing he took time to visit the hospital at night but our leaders should make available basic amenities such as 24hrs electricity and water supply among other things.

Well, even if it is for eye-service (like some sadists termed it already), truth is the masses are still the beneficiaries - which is the Change they voted for.

Well done Tambuwal.

Those health workers should be in labour market already, why give them a second chance to play with people's lives?

In Panya where I stay, such attitude to work would result in dismissal to avoid future risks in its recurrence.

Kudos to Tambuwal all the same. undecided
