It is a pleasant news for students offering medical and health courses in Bauchi State as the state Governor, Bala Muhammad says they will from now on get automatic employment after graduation.

Governor Mohammed announced the scheme on Thursday in Bauchi while inaugurating two newly constructed primary healthcare centres in Gidan Dubu and Fadamamada communities in Bauchi metropolis.

“As a measure to maintain the major optimum requirements to the healthcare profession in the state, this administration has reintroduced the pre service scheme where students offering medical and health courses are given automatic employment.

“That is our health students, the midwives and the nurses that are in our tertiary institutions,” he said.

“Consequently, since the inception of this administration, we have been able to construct four general hospitals where there were none as well as 15 primary healthcare centres.

“We have also renovated and equipped 10 secondary and 10 primary health facilities across the state.

"These are in addition to the 107 and 204 primary and secondary health facilities, renovated and upgraded through the support of EU, UNICEF and NSHIP projects respectively,” he said.

The Governor assured the people of the state that all developmental projects started by this administration would be completed within the remaining life span of his administration.

A NAN report says the two health facilities were constructed with development partners like the UNICEF, European Union (EU) and USAID.

The Bauchi State government on November 17 allocated N30.5 billion to the state Ministry of Health out of the N202 billion 2023 budget presented by the governor to the state House of Assembly for approval.
