Good news to start 2014: Prof Chukwu says he will accept a call to serve!

From Nigeria Health Watch Wed Jan 15 2014, 12:00:00

It has been circulating through the rumour mill for quite some time, but now it is confirmed. The Minister of Health has declared that he is ready to serve the good people of Ebonyi State as their Governor, if he is invited!

He apparently told journalists in Abuja that;

"...I have a passion for things to be done properly; I have a passion for individuals ..... I am someone who is usually committed to an assignment that is given to me and which I have accepted to do. I am also someone who wants things to be done properly"Well, the people of Ebonyi State must be ecstatic. If there is one Minister that most closely resembles our President, it is the Honourable Minister of Health. By promising little in the health sector in his four years as the Minister of Health, there is little to hold him accountable for. His landmark achievements may be the Federal Government taking over the Ebonyi State University Teaching Hospital in his home state, for which the good people of Ebonyi will be most grateful, and the Federal Government taking over a clinic built in the President's village of Otuoke, for which his boss will be most grateful. These are indeed dividends of democracy for the affected areas. If there are any others, please do share with us, dear readers. Read his achievements as describes them himself in a recent newspaper article here. It includes the eradication of guinea worm and the development of a curriculum to train paramedics!
