Nasarawa: Governor travels abroad for medical check-up
Governor Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa State has notified the State House of Assembly that he is travelling to the United States of America (USA) for medical check-up from Dec. 13 to Dec. 29.
The Speaker of the assembly, Ibrahim Balarabe-Abdullahi, disclosed this on Monday while reading the Governor’s letter to the house, titled, “Notification to Travel to the United States of America.”
The letter reads in parts: “I wish to inform the Rt. Hon speaker, I shall be travelling to the United States of America for medical check-up from Sunday, 13th to Saturday 29th December, 2020.
“Accordingly, in my absence, the Deputy Governor would oversee the affairs of the state pending my return,” the governor said.
The governor’s medical tourism comes at a time when there are increasing calls for greater investment in local health delivery, especially in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic which saw nations locking down their borders against migration.
