Mohammed urges corps members to provide quality medical services

Gov. Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State has called on corps members posted to their various places of primary assignment to help the state governments in providing quality medical services in their host communities.

“We will not spare any effort in ensuring that your proven competence and creative energies are fully harnessed and channeled towards making Bauchi State the pride of the Nation,” he said.

Mohammed added that the government was committed to ensure that they become self-reliant after their service year.
