Yakubu Maikyau, the president of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), presented 10,050 pieces of personal protective equipment (PPEs) to the Garki Hospital in Abuja, citing his desire to support healthcare providers in their work.
In his Kebbi State, Maikyau claimed to have been doing medical outreaches in conjunction with medical professionals who he regarded as performing well, particularly his relationship with the Medicare Foundation and others.
He claimed that providing medical care had always been in his nature.
The NBA president declared, “We are glad to see improvements. This is the beginning of a strong relationship with the hospital management.
“I actually thought that I will come here quietly and do what we need to do, but I quickly reminded myself that this is the public and that my coworkers will not be pleased with me because I didn’t intend to do this in my capacity but in the capacity of the NBA and I intend to understand that one cannot begin to separate himself from that of the office that he is occupying. I’m not a medical professional, but when I first started out, I was on the verge of pursuing a career in medicine. However, perhaps God has provided me with the opportunity to accomplish what I would have done if I were a medical doctor.
