The governor pledged to support the new health care facility, saying that very soon his administration would embark on massive recruitment of competent and qualified health personnel to man the health services across the state.

The Director of the DSS in the state, Mr Bola Olori, said that the facility was started in 2017 as part of corporate social responsibility of the command to her staff and the neighbouring community.

Dr Batulu Muhammad, Chairperson Adamawa State Primary Healthcare Development Agency, called on the state government to employ more hand into the health sectors.
