YOBE STATE GOVERNMENT SPENDS N360MILLION ANNUALLY ON FREE KIDNEY DIALYSIS                                                                                                  04-03-25

By Sadiq Aminu                                                      Yobe State Government has revealed an annual expenditure of approximately N360 million on free dialysis for residents battling kidney disease in the state.

Secretary to the State Government Baba Malam Wali made the disclosure during a visit to the Director, Biomedical Science Research and Training Centre (BioRTC), Dr. Mahmoud Bukar Maina, following the completion of the first phase of a statewide kidney disease research initiative.

Dr. Maina, who also serves as the Special Adviser to Governor Mai Mala Buni on Science, Research and Innovation, said researchers collected over 2,000 blood and urine samples and 500 environmental samples, including soil, water, fish, and vegetables, in the Bade and Damaturu Local Government Areas.

The effort is part of the Yobe state government’s commitment to tackling the alarming rise in kidney failure cases in the state.

State Commissioner for Health and Human Services, Dr. Gana Lawan Muhammad, commended the government’s efforts and dedication to funding health research as a significant benefit to the state.

He praised Governor Buni for prioritizing healthcare and research, a sector often neglected by many governments.

Chief Medical Director, Yobe State University Teaching Hospital, Dr. Baba Waru Goni, lauded the government for its continued support of healthcare initiatives, describing the administration’s investment in kidney disease, research and treatment as evidence of its commitment to the well-being of the people.

This comprehensive research initiative highlights the Yobe State Government’s proactive approach to addressing public health challenges through science, innovation, and visionary leadership.
