Wife of the President, Mrs. Aisha Muhammadu
Buhari has said that the welfare of women and children remain
her primary concern and is the reason she conducts medical outreach to those in
far and hard to reach areas. She was speaking during the routine health
screening exercise at Chachi village, Tafa Local Government of Niger state on Tuesday
22nd August 2017.
Mrs. Buhari was represented at
the event by the North Central Coordinator for Future Assured programme,
Hajiya Hafsatu Zannah, who said the aim of the outreach was to provide
essential medical services and nutrition supplements to the less privileged
people at their door steps.
“We conducted deworming for
women and children as well as sensitize the women on how to go about exclusive
breastfeeding. We also sensitized them on the prevention and control of malaria
during and after pregnancy and the importance of ante-natal care" she
said.
Over 2000 beneficiaries
comprising women, children and the less privileged benefitted from the
exercise, where cartons of anti-malaria drugs, cough syrup as well as food
items were also distributed.
The beneficiaries were also
trained how to use local grains such as groundnuts, beans, maize and soya beans
to make nutritious food for their babies at low cost.
While expressing his appreciation to the gesture, the village head of Chachi, Mr. Musa Abubakar, prayed to Almighty God to reward the wife of the President for this gesture, assuring the medical team of their unflinching support and prayers for the success of President Muhammadu Buhari's administration.
