Former General Manager of the Federal Capital Territory Health Management Board, Dr. Frank Alu has attributed the bad shape into which Kuje General Hospital has been thrown to the collapse of everything in Nigeria.
Reacting to a story carried on Greenbarge Reporters online newspaper platform today, April 11, Dr. Alu said: “Am sure this is as a result of the collapse of everything in the country…. national grid collapse; no diesel to power the generators; no water from Water board & no power to pump water from the boreholes!
“Those complaining about welfare are actually not complaining about salaries & allowances (because these are paid regularly as & when due) but the uncomfortable working conditions brought about by all these NATIONAL COLLAPSE. God help us.”
When a suggestion was made that the hospital ought to be temporary closed, to avoid possible infections of even the medical personnel, the former General Manager asked: “what do you do if there is no diesel to run generators & pump water that water board? And AEDC refuse to provide electricity?
“I wanted you to see the perspective of the whole problem when I mentioned “total collapse of the National grid.
“Maybe we should temporarily close Nigeria then.”
We carried a story yesterday that Kuje general hospital now operates without electricity for days and water. That patients now buy water from water vendors for medical attention.
