The Etsu Nupe, Alhaji Yahaya Abubakar, on Sunday commended a UK-based NGO, Africa Healthcare Development Trust (AHDT), for offering free medical treatment to over 3000 patients in his domain.
Abubakar made the commendation in his Wadata Palace in Bida while receiving members of the NGO.
Abubakar said the gesture had helped to improve the health of the less privileged in the society in addition to bringing relief and succour to families of the beneficiaries.
He said the complementary role of NGO was worthy of emulation by other prominent sons and daughters of Nupe land.
“I am quite happy when I received the reports of those that the team had treated, particularly the underprivileged,” Abubakar said.
A spokesman for the group, Dr Aminu Usman, had earlier commended Niger State Government for funding part of the programme and the Bida Emirate for providing enabling environment for the team to offer the services.
Usman said that the patients were attended to by the team at the Federal Medical Centre, Bida.(NAN)
