Wife of the President, Aisha Buhari has revealed what led to her travel to the United Arab Emirates for medical treatment.
Aisha Buhari was reported to have traveled to Dubai due to persistent neck pain.
According to a statement made available to newsmen on Saturday, August 22, 2020. Aisha thanked Nigerians for their concern and prayers.
She said, “I want to use this opportunity to thank all Nigerians for their prayers and well wishes while I was away for medical treatment in the United Arabs Emirates (UAE). I am well now and fully recovered and have since returned back home, Nigeria.
“I recall hosting the private healthcare providers earlier in the year and we had a very productive engagement where the issue of building the capacity of Nigeria health sector was the major focus, and funding was discovered to be the major challenge.
“I therefore call on the healthcare providers to take the advantage of the Federal Government’s initiative through the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) guidelines for the operation of NGN100 Billion Credit Support for the Healthcare Sector as was contained in a circular released on March 25, 2020 to the Commercial Banks.”
Aisha also commended the frontline workers and Nigerians for their steadfastness in navigating the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic.
