The people of Gwarzo Local Government Area continue to celebrate the arrival of a highly respected traditional medical practitioner who offers free herbal treatment to the public, widely known as Dr. Sam Zuga, a man whose exceptional gift has won admiration across Nigeria.

Residents describe his presence as a blessing, noting that his long-standing commitment to healing has brought hope to countless individuals in different communities.

Dr. Sam Zuga, originally from Gboko in Benue State, has been recognized as a certified traditional medical expert, having obtained and possessed all authorized government certifications for his practice since the year 2003.

His professional documentation and approvals underline his credibility, legal compliance, and the authenticity of his work within the Nigerian health regulatory space.

He began offering free herbal treatment nationwide as far back as 2003, the very year his organization officially began its humanitarian service to the public.

His visit to Gwarzo has gathered immense interest, especially among the poor and underserved who struggle to access modern healthcare due to economic challenges.

Many residents believe that his therapies help with conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, eye problems, ear infections, fibroid-related issues, joint pains, asthma, and immune system complications.

The herbal remedies he administers are rooted in natural healing traditions, supported by prayers and trust in the Creator.

A strong message has continued to resonate among community members: medicine does not conflict with religion. Whether a person is Muslim or Christian, the treatment works by God’s permission.

Once a patient declares “tawakaltu Alallah”—meaning complete trust in Allah—residents believe the Almighty allows the medicine to achieve healing according to His will.

This understanding has strengthened community confidence, encouraging people to accept treatment with open hearts and deep faith.

During separate interviews, Alhaji Mansur Sani Gwarzo and Hajiya Haulatu Abdullahi Bakin Rafi shared their testimonies of past consultations, noting significant improvement after using the herbal remedies.

They reaffirmed their satisfaction with the treatment and emphasized that natural medicine, when taken responsibly and with trust in God, contributes meaningfully to healing.

Their experiences mirror the joy expressed across the community as people welcome a support system that reaches the elderly, women, youths, and persons with limited resources.

Healthcare observers in the region acknowledged the role of traditional medicine but advised that all treatments, whether modern or herbal, should be used respectfully and safely.

The arrival of a certified practitioner like Dr. Sam Zuga has renewed conversations about the value of regulated traditional medicine in underserved communities.

Residents believe that blending faith, natural therapy, and good guidance creates a balanced path toward recovery.

Across several gatherings, people have described the initiative as a sign of compassion, humanity, and community upliftment.

Local leaders have extended their appreciation, stating that free healthcare initiatives reinforce unity and social well-being.

Youth groups noted that such humanitarian acts inspire hope and remind society that caring for humanity remains one of the greatest virtues.

Women in the area have expressed gratitude for the relief these services bring at a time when many families face financial stress.

Testimonies continue to spread, with more residents expressing their willingness to seek treatment and praying for complete healing.

Health volunteers advised recipients to follow instructions carefully and maintain patience during treatment to ensure safety and positive outcomes.

They stressed that all healing ultimately comes from God, and medicine—whether herbal or modern—is only a medium through which He grants recovery.

Elders in the community said the visit highlights the enduring value of indigenous knowledge passed down through generations.

They encouraged residents to uphold peace, unity, and cooperation as they embrace beneficial initiatives.

Local youths appealed for more programmes of this nature, believing they can reduce community health burdens and raise awareness.

Patients who spoke with reporters expressed comfort and renewed hope after their encounters with the certified practitioner.

Observers believe the programme will leave a lasting impact on public health in Gwarzo if sustained.

The community remains optimistic that such generosity will continue, especially when healthcare costs are rising nationwide.

Stakeholders applauded the spirit of service, calling on more practitioners to emulate this model of community support.

Religious leaders again reaffirmed that healing is solely in God’s hands and that medicine—whether herbal or modern—does not discriminate between Muslims and Christians.

They emphasized that faith and responsible usage allow the treatment to work in line with divine purpose.

Residents prayed for continued blessings, guidance, and expansion of beneficial initiatives that uplift the community.

In conclusion, the people of Gwarzo expressed profound appreciation for the humanitarian mission, viewing it as a shining example of sincerity, compassion, and fear of God strengthened by the fact that the practitioner has been fully certified and authorized by the government since 2003 to carry out his healing work.
