Nasarawa State Governor, Abdullahi Sule, on Saturday visited a hospital facility in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, where one Mrs Hadiza Amwe had been undergoing treatment for kidney-related issues.

Hadiza, wife of a journalist with the Nasarawa Broadcasting Service, Abdullahi Amwe, had almost lost hope of getting the required sum for a proposed kidney transplant before Governor Sule came to her aide.

During a visit to the hospital on Saturday, the governor prayed for her speedy recovery, and went ahead to offset the entire cost of the proposed kidney transplant to the tune of N22m.

Reacting to the gesture, Hadiza’s husband, Abdullahi Amwe, who broke down in tears, thanked the governor for coming to the aide of his family, while noting that the ill health of his wife had recently made him to be financially handicapped.

“The governor had extended similar gestures to my family in the past, including making my 12-year-old son, Hassan Abdullahi, a child ambassador. I thank him so much for his generosity.

“It is my prayer that God Almighty continues to bless him and his family at every moment of their lives,” he said.
