Kwara State Government has directed immediate release of N5.2million naira for medical emergencies involving 13 students involved in an accident in Sokoto.
In a statement Governor AbdulRazaq spokesperson Rafiu Ajakaye says
the governor has also sent a get-well-soon message to the students praying to God to grant them safe return.
According to it while eight of the students had varying degrees of bone fractures which are considered an emergency, including surgeries, five of them are to undergo other levels of medical treatment — all at the Usman Danfodio University Teaching Hospital in Sokoto.
It explains that the Governor has immediately released N5,250,000.00 to cover the cost of tests, scans, and other procedures and treatments already itemized by the hospital.
It says the students were involved in an auto crash along the Yauri-Sokoto Expressway in Kebbi State as they were returning to Sokoto, noting that the driver of their car died in the accident.
