The member representing Bebeji/Kiru federal constituency in the House of Representatives from Kano state, Hon. Abdulmumin Jibrin Kofa, has on Monday, 13th November, 2023, promised to settle all the medical bills of a five year old Fatima Shu’abu who battles deadly cancer on her face.
Fatima, who hails from Kofa town of Bebeji Local Government in Kano State is battling the deadly disease that has so far eaten almost half of her face and is threatening to affect her right eye.
Interacting with the parents of the girl at his residence in Kano, Mr. Abdulmumin promised to settle all her medical bills until she is fully recovered. He promised to take her to any hospital in Nigeria, and beyond for appropriate medical attention.
He said, “I have a good system for supporting cases like this in my hometown Kofa and beyond. I also ensured I put in place easy and multiple means of reaching across to me. When messages were sent to me about this case, I quickly made enquiries and met the girl and her family today.
“Her parents admitted someone they met at the hospital probably took it to the media to seek help for them with good intentions. We thank him for that. I have taken over her case and will pay her bills in full as I have done with so many and still doing several others at the moment,” Hon. Kofa told the girl’s parents.
Mr. Jibrin also donated some amount of money to the girl to help her family ease their shuttle to hospital.
