The Sokoto State Zakkat and Endowment Commission has disbursed
the sum of over N8million to various hospitals and medicine stores as support
to patients that could not afford their services.
Speaking,
the chairman of the Commission, Malam Lawal Maidoki said the money was meant
only for the payment of medical bills and medicines for those patients.
He
warned that those who have the means of footing up their bills should not
benefit from it.
“There
are some people who can afford these services but prefer to meet these
committees for support which is very unfair and immoral,” he said
He
advised members of the committees to fear God in discharging their
responsibilities.
Maidoki
also advised wealthy individuals to imbibe the culture of assisting their needy
neighbours, particularly the sick ones.
The
Usmanu Danfodiyo University Teaching Hospital and Psychiatric hospital, Kware
received N2 million each while the Orthopaedics Hospital, Wamakko and others
received N500,000 each.
