According to him, “When governor Alia came on board, he visited us in the hospital which was already like a grave yard, we told him how health workers are going through hell and he asked us to put our challenges in writing and bring it to his table which we did and a committee was constituted by the governor to make its findings about the issues we raised.”

“As a listening  governor, we told him our plight, this was in August 2024, and on the 24th December, we started receiving alerts ceaselessly, every health worker here is smiling, we are proud of the Governor for his talk and do style,” he added.
