A CLINIC IN NAME, A DEATH TRAP IN REALITY!! This is Nyaguru PHC where childbirth is conducted with candles 🕯️ The PHC facility serving Nyaguru Ija Gbagyi community in Tafa LGA of Niger State is in a state of severe neglect, unable to provide even the most basic healthcare services. Despite being the only health facility for over 1,500 residents, the clinic lacks the infrastructure, equipment, and staffing required to provide medical care, with just one nurse struggling to manage all medical needs for nearly a decade. The building itself is unsafe. Ceilings have collapsed, rainwater leaks into treatment rooms, and sanitation is poor. Childbirth is often conducted in darkness using candles or lanterns, putting mothers and newborns at extreme risk. Access to the facility is equally dangerous. The road is barely motorable, forcing pregnant women and emergency patients to travel long distances by motorcycle, increasing the likelihood of complications, delays, and preventable deaths. In its current state, the Nyaguru PHC cannot protect lives, it endangers them. We implore the office of the Gov @HonBago, the @NigerStateNG, @Fmohnigeria, @NphcdaNG, to facilitate the complete rehabilitation, and staffing, of this facility to restore safe healthcare for the community. #FixOurPHCs
Dear Nigerians, Recall the Nigeria’s 2025 Budget is officially titled “Budget of Restoration: Securing Peace, Rebuilding Prosperity”, allocating a record 12.54% (N6.57trn) to security. We also have governors’ monthly security votes, and from January to September alone, N5.9trn and N3.8trn have been disbursed to the states and LGAs, respectively, via FAAC. This is well over N16trn meant to restore peace. Yet, as we progress through 2025, the nation continues to witness a devastating toll: over 9,000 lives lost and countless abductions due to insurgency and banditry. Communities have been overrun, and massive displacement of citizens. In light of these facts, we must ask: where is the restoration we were promised? Why does a lasting peace seem increasingly distant? Significant resources have been allocated, but we have yet to see the corresponding results in security and stability. Opaque security votes, untracked FAAC trillions, and zero public reports on how the N6.57trn is spent are major issues here. @NigeriaGov, while we demand that you reacts fast to these incidents, we also demand that the whole system enabling the attacks must also be checked. Securing Peace” cannot remain a slogan while citizens live in fear. Fund community-based early-warning systems with clear tracking. Subject governors’ security votes to legislative oversight and audit. For the citizens, this is our budget, demand receipts from your reps, governors, and LGA chairmen. #Askquestion on how the security vote and FAAC in your state was spent?” No more excuses. Peace is not a prayer, it is a deliverable. Check your State and LGA FAAC allocations here 🫳 me.budgit.org and yourtracka.org and #Askquestions
