H.E Gov. Ibrahim Gaidam paid an unscheduled visit to the Sani Abacha Specialist Hospital, Damaturu around 9.00PM this evening to directly interact with hospital staff, patients and patient relatives and see for himself the state of service delivery there. The governor started with the Accident and Emergency Unit, then moved to the labour and padeatric wards; female medical ward, infectious diseases ward, and then visited the male medical and surgical wards.

H.E Gov. Gaidam talked to patients and their relatives and wished them quick recovery.

The governor expressed appreciation that doctors on call and nurses on duty were at their duty posts. He was also glad that generator-powered electricity supply was good in the hospital as was the state of hygiene.

The governor learnt, however, that there is water scarcity in the hospital as some of the boreholes were not functioning very well. He also learnt that there is shortage of beds and beddings because following the construction of 13 new ward and departmental buildings by his administration, the contractor who was mandated to supply new hospital beds had failed to deliver.

H.E Gov. Gaidam therefore asked for the Commissioner of Health Dr. Bello Kawuwa and directed him to liaise with the Water Resources Ministry for the boreholes to be immediately reactivated.

He also asked for details about alternative sourcing of new hospital beds and asked the Secretary to the State Government, Alhaji Baba Mallam Wali, who was with him during the visit, to work with the Health Commissioner and other officials concerned to ensure that up to 200 new hospital beds are supplied and installed in the hospital.

Governor Gaidam also directed his Director of Protocol and Logistics, Zanna Ali Ibrahim to immediately transfer up to 50 new chairs from the Government House Public Events Hall to be used as patient relatives chairs in the labour, female medical and paediatrics wards.

KENNEDY BOBOYE: A CASE OF HOOLIGANISM

If Plateau United of Jos wants to become the champion of the NPFL this season, the team must focus on playing good football and not negative form of football and the thuggery behaviour and antics their coach exhibited yesterday at the Lekan Salami Stadium. Kennedy Akinboboye, Plateau United Head Coach was an embarrassment to the league with his show of shame in yesterday's encounter and this should call for LMC sanction to serve as a deterrent for future occurrence.

It was all calm and mild a few hours before the start of the Match Day 12 NPFL game Shooting Stars vs Plateau United. Pre match meeting done and other formalities. But in a swift contrast, a few minutes before the match, so many ugly scenes started happening right from the tunnel with Plateau United goalie - Oladele Ajiboye, a former 3SC player taunting a few Shooting Stars players with gross behaviour and unprintable words before the match, the referee's attention was called to this and was solved arbitrarily.

To the game proper, the match started with normal exchanges as reported and the Jos team got a goal before the end of the first half. Second half commenced and it was all negative attitudes from the team. Oladele Ajiboye would feigned injury and was on the ground for longer period on over 4 occasions against the stipulated FIFA 5 mins each time - and the centre referee Charles Ozigbo from Anambra was left with no choice than to brandished yellow cards for time wasting antics and delays throughout the match. Fans started getting bored with this attitudes and if not for their maturity, the match would have been abandoned.

Shooting got a consolatory goal with a good penalty when Bode Daniel was hacked down in the box, but Boboye was clearly upset that his antics had been bursted. He started with provocations and clearly running around the pitch to beat and harass some 3SC officials, there are pictorial evidence to this and his animalistic and unnecessary action brought the game into a total halt for over 12 mins so much that the fans were apparently fed up!

You don't become a league champion by playing dirty - Plateau United players would just fall without a contact and be rolling on the pitch for minutes; Jersey number 22 - Oladele Ajiboye and 5 - Jimmy Obrose were greatest culprits for this.

For Boboye, it would have done a world of good if his team would focus on the game than coming up with hooligan behaviours that would always bring football into disrepute. The LMC still celebrated CNN goal of the Week via MFM Olatunbosun last week and if this match had been on television, this would have been a total contrast for what LMC objectives preaches.

This is just a memoir, it would be interesting to see the Match Commissioner's report and further LMC verdict.
