Beneficiaries of the free health-care intervention programme sponsored by the Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq led administration in Kwara State have recounted their gains.
The free medical intervention programme was designed by the present administration to take free healthcare to the doorstep of vulnerable people across the sixteen (16) local government areas in the state.
Expressing his appreciation, Mr Muhammad Abdullahi who was one of the beneficiaries from Oyun local government area commended the Governor for deeming it necessary to address the plight of the indigent members of the community.
He said “everything is not money, if you give me money to do this operation, I will spend it on something else. Imagine the cost of operation for almost 40 people that will be operated here today, I am happy that Mallam AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has taken care of my health, he deserves a reward from me and prayer for God to meet his needs also. I also thank those professional Doctors and nurses that are doing the work.
“Our people will forever remain grateful to governor AbdulRahman.
