Fatima Atiku, daughter of former Vice
President Atiku Abubakar and newly appointed Adamawa Commissioner of Health,
has forfeited her salary and allowances for use in revitalizing the state’s
health sector. Fielding questions from newsmen in Yola on Friday after being
sworn in, alongside 21 other commissioners, Fatima, a medical consultant, said
she was giving up her perks because of the numerous challenges in the health
sector.
“I am very grateful to the governor for
appointing me to head the health ministry,” she said.
“The ministry is the most challenging because
of the insurgency problem that had caused some damage to the health system in
the state.
“For this reason, I shall be donating my
salary and allowances for use in enhancing the delivery of healthcare service
in the state,’’ Fatima Atiku said.
