The BUA Cement Company has donated drugs and other medical items to seven healthcare centres across host communities in Sokoto State.
The communities are Kalambaina, Arkilla, Sabongarin Gidanbelu, Wajeke, Sabongarin Alu and Bakin Kusu, as well as mobile police barracks.
BUA’s Assistant Director, Administration and Corporate Services, Sada Suleiman, said the gesture was part of the company’s Corporate Social Responsibility, which he said it undertakes every year to develop the host communities across the country.
“We donate medical items to clinics in our host communities, in addition to building clinics, schools and Mosques,” he said.
He said the drugs would be given free to patients that assess health facilities in the communities.
The Executive Secretary of Sokoto State Primary Healthcare Development Agency, Adamu Abdullahi Romo, warned the clinics against selling the drugs to patients.
The District Head of Arkilla, Aliyu Hassan, thanked the company for the gesture, adding that the drugs and other medical items would go a long way in improving the health condition of the people of the communities.
