Former Gombe State Governor and Senator representing Gombe North, Ibrahim Dankwambo, has announced N75m in monthly healthcare support, a N100m education fund and monthly stipends for 1,000 women and youths as part of interventions to improve the welfare of his constituents.

In a statement signed by his spokesman, Faruk Yarman, on Friday, Dankwambo thanked residents for their massive turnout at the Peoples Democratic Party’s two-day programme and commended security personnel and journalists for their professionalism before, during and after the event.

Dankwambo also announced plans to sponsor the enrolment of 100 girls at the Federal Government Girls’ College, Bajoga, and distribute 52 motorcycles to Peoples Democratic Party ward chairmen across Gombe North Senatorial District.

The senator unveiled the initiatives on Thursday at the inauguration of the Gombe State PDP Campaign Council in Gombe.

The event was attended by the party’s governorship candidate, Prof Ali Pantami; PDP National Chairman, Ambassador Abdurrahman Mohammed; and other national and state party leaders.

The statement read, “Dr Ibrahim Hassan Dankwambo has approved N10m monthly for each of seven hospitals in Gombe North Senatorial District to support patients who cannot afford medical treatment.”

The beneficiary hospitals are the Federal Teaching Hospital, Gombe; Specialist Hospital, Gombe; Zainab Bulkachuwa Women and Children Hospital, Gombe; General Hospital, Bajoga; General Hospital, Dukku; General Hospital, Kwami; and General Hospital, Nafada.

The hospitals’ social welfare units are expected to work with selected stakeholders to identify and support indigent inpatients and outpatients.

The senator added, “We have also approved a separate N5m monthly allocation to the Federal Teaching Hospital, Gombe, for the purchase of dialysis consumables, bringing our total monthly healthcare support to N75m.”
