Borno State Governor, Babagana Umar Zulum has approved the sum of N13.9 million and a car gift for Dr Isa Akinbode, an Indigene of Ogun State.
The 65-year old medical doctor who joined the Borno State Civil Service 22years ago had lived in the General Hospital Premises, Monguno rendering healthcare services to patients inspite of the Boko Haram Insurgents.
Dr Akinbode graduated from the University of Maiduguri and joined the Borno State Civil Service where he served for 22 years before he retired in 2016 at Monguno General Hospital.
Former Governor of the state, Kashim Shettima had during one of his visits to Monguno, directed officials of the state’s ministry of health to engage Akinbode as a contract staff. The bureaucratic procedures in the Borno State Ministry of Health however delayed formalizing the doctor’s contract, even though he continued to serve,’’ said the statement.
‘’Five years later, Governor Zulum directed that Dr Akinbode be paid arrears of N13.9m which accrued since based on the terms of the contract directed by the former governor in 2016. Zulum also directed that going forward contract should be formalized for monthly entitlements.
The Governor also presented a Toyota Highlander as a gift to Dr Akinbode for his services to the host people of Borno.
Governor Zulum also approved the recruitment of Dr Akinbode’s daughter, who studied Public Administration at the University of Maiduguri, into the Borno state civil service.
What a great achievement!!!! I’m happy for you. As for the governor may Allah _ the Almighty guide,protect and bless you and shower His mercy upon you. You are indeed a great man.
