Governor Kashim Shettima of Borno on Sunday donated blood to a pregnant woman who was in need of transfusion during an unscheduled visit to Gen. Muhammadu Shuwa Memorial Hospital in Maiduguri.
The Commissioner for Health, Dr Salma Kolo, told newsmen of the governor’s humanitarian gesture in Maiduguri.
Kolo said that Shettima made the donation because he was moved by the circumstances he met the woman in at the hospital.
“The governor was disturbed by the condition of the woman and wanted to help.
“He later discovered through the medical attendants that his blood group matched that of the woman, so he decided to help out,” she said.
“This is what is expected of a leader.
“Shettima has been teaching the people of Borno what it means to be a true servant leader,” Kolo said. (NAN)
