President Tinubu; Your Young Nigerian Medical Doctor Is Dying Of Chronic Liver Disease

President Bola Ahmad Tinubu

Mr. President, I hope my letter reaches you in good time. I am fully aware of your commitments in India for the G20 summit. However, I have no option but to seize this opportunity to draw your attention to a pressing issue that needs your urgent action and commitment.

Your Excellency, one of the vibrant citizens of our great country – Tijjani Ibrahim, a committed and dedicated young medical doctor, has been diagnosed with advanced Chronic Liver Disease as a result of Hepatitis B Viral Infection. As I am writing this open letter to you, Dr Ibrahim is on admission at the National Hospital Abuja in a very horrific situation. However, the members of the health team are doing their best to continue giving him palliative treatment. So, we must express our unflinching gratitude to all of them and the health system in the country.

Nonetheless, Your Excellency, you are fully aware of the huge amount of money the Nigerian Government is investing in one Medical Doctor before he/she graduates from Medical School. The index case is someone who recently graduated and is ready to serve his people with every means that is humanly possible. Your Excellency, Nigerians too are in desperate need of his services, looking at the manpower deficit in the health sector and the rate at which we are suffering from “brain drain syndrome.” I strongly believe Nigeria and Nigerians are not ready and can not afford to lose someone like Dr. Tijjani Ibrahim.

Sir, the definitive treatment for his medical condition is a “Liver Transplant” because the disease has reached the end stage. In view of that, some of our respected consultants here in Nigeria have communicated with an Indian hospital where the liver transplant could be performed. The overall procedure would cost around twenty five million Naira (N25,000,000).

Your Excellency, you are the leader of the “renewed hope” agenda; please, we do solicit your kind intervention in renewing the hope of our respected colleague Dr. Tijjani Ibrahim, by sponsoring him abroad for a Liver Transplant. Your Excellency, salvaging this young Medical Doctor out of the woods will serve as an additional feather to your cap. Dr Ibrahim is still on admission at the National Hospital, Abuja. We do hope that Your Excellency would send a representative to visit Dr Ibrahim and have first hand assessment of his situation.

Thanks in anticipation of your positive response your Excellency.

The attention of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC Ltd) has been drawn to reports in a section of the media alleging that the Old Port Harcourt Refinery which was re-streamed two months ago has been shut down.

We wish to clarify that such reports are totally false as the refinery is fully operational as verified a few days ago by former Group Managing Directors of NNPC.

Preparation for the day’s loading operation is currently ongoing.

Members of the public are advised to discountenance such reports as they are the figments of the imagination of those who want to create artificial scarcity and rip-off Nigerians.

Port Harcourt Refinery Halts Production Less Than a Month After Resumption

Less than a month after the porthacourt  appeared to have resumed production, the facility has stopped working.

It was gathered that the lifting of petrol actually stopped last Friday, December 13, as the 18-arm loading bay of the new Port Harcourt refinery was empty.

While about 18 trucks littered the stretch of the busy road leading to the refinery itself, nine trucks were spotted inside the parking yard, while the loading bay was empty.

Journalists who visited the refinery on Thursday, December 19, 2024, observed that the lifting of Premium Motor Spirit (petrol) had stopped completely.

The depot, which is usually a beehive of activities where tankers scramble for space at the parking yard, was a shadow of itself with literally no vehicular or human activity relating to operations.

This was after $1.5bn was approved in March 2021 and spent on the rehabilitation of the facility.

The inauguration of the 60,000 barrel per day production capacity plant by the Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, Mele Kyari, on Tuesday, November 26, 2024, was met with celebration and fanfare.

During the re-opening of the facility, there was lifting of petrol to the excitement of the cheering crowd.

However, less than 10 trucks of petrol were lifted that day as against widespread claims that about 200 trucks carried petrol out of the bay.
