A delegation of Doctors Without Borders (A medical NGO) led by Dr Simba Tirima paid a courtesy visit to His Excellency Governor Bello Matawalle last Friday.
During the visit, Dr Tirima congratulated the governor for his successful ascendancy to the gubernatorial position adding that with the leadership of His Excellency Governor Bello Matawalle the problem of lead poisoning associated with gold mining would be brought to an end owing to his relentless commitment in curtailing the menace of banditry in the state. Dr Tirima further explained the dangers associated with lead poisoning recounting the cases of lead poisoning, malaria and malnutrition they have received and treated from both within and outside Zamfara State.
Responding to the guests, Governor Bello Matawalle expressed gratitude to the organisations for its medical services to the communities in the state. He assured them of his government's continued support and commitment to the organisation asserting that the government has that responsibility to support the organisations like Medicins Sans Frontieres by doing everything possible to make them render their selfless services without a hitch.
He finally assured the organisation that he would visit their base in Anka and assess their working conditions for a possible intervention within the limits of the organisation's rules and ethics of service.
