“I have personally embarked on several visits to the hospital and noticed the needs of the hospital during our visits.
“Our decision to donate two wheelchairs to the Hospital is a testament to our commitment to enhancing the effectiveness of service delivery.

He disclosed that the foundation through the Nacabs Polytechnic, Akwanga has provided over 1500 scholarships to students in the institution.
“Through Nacabs Polytechnic, we have awarded over 1500 scholarships, empowering individuals to pursue their dreams and contribute positively to society.
“Today, as we expand our efforts, we recognize the importance of addressing broader community needs.
“We understand that true impact comes from identifying areas where our support can make a tangible difference, no matter how small,” he said.
Abuluya also commended the Chief Medical Director (CMD) of the hospital, Dr Ikrama Hassan and the state government for their efforts in taking the hospital to greater height.
“Let us continue to work together to create inclusive societies where every individual has the opportunity to thrive and contribute meaningfully,” he said.
