The Kebbi State Governor, Nasir idiris has put smiles in faces of health workers in the state as he ordered regularization of appointments of those of them still on casual.
He asserted that the era of casual staff in the state is over and directed regularisation of casual workers in the State Medical Centre Kalgo.
A statement on Tuesday by Ahmed Idris, Chief Press Secretary to the governor stated that Idiris gave the order while inspecting the centre at Kalgo, a suburb of Birnin Kebbi, the state capital.
Gov. idiris was conducted round the hospital by the Chief Medical Director (CMD), Dr Nura Kangiwa, where the governor expressed dismay over the number of casual staff in the hospital.
He, therefore, directed the setting up of a committee to look into the possibility of absorbing the casual staff to a full fleged staff of the state government.
The governor assured the management of the hospital that all their requests would be looked into with a view to proffering lasting solution.
Earlier, the CMD, Dr Nura kangiwa enumerated some challenges of the hospital which according to him, required urgent intervention of the state government.
The governor had earlier inspected Abdullahi Fodio College where one students’ hostel of the college was razed down following a fire incident.
While sympathizing with the students and management of the school, Gov. Idris assured them that the state government would rehabilitate the affected structure.
