*Obaseki visits accident victims, clears medical bills*

*…takes responsibility of 5-year-old victim’s cancer treatment*

Edo State Governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, has visited and offset medical bills of persons who suffered various degrees of injuries, in a road accident involving a bus attached to the Governor’s Press Unit and two vehicles, in Ugbowo area of Benin City.

Some of the victims are admitted and receiving medical care at the University of Benin Teaching Hospital (UBTH), Benin City.

The governor, during the visit, learnt that one of the victims, Freeman Okoro, a five-year-old, was a cancer patient and had come for chemotherapy session at UBTH before the unfortunate incident.

On learning of his condition, the governor pledged to take responsibility of his cancer treatment and also offset the bill of Freeman’s cousin, who had been held in the hospital for his inability to pay for his treatment.

Governor Obaseki said, “I came to see the condition of the victims of the accident myself. Just as we have promised on the day of the accident when the victims were admitted. The state government has taken full responsibility of their medical bills.

“We will also make sure we follow up with the full recovery of those who are still being treated for injuries from the accident.”

Consultant General and Coordinator, Accident and Emergency Department, UBTH, Dr. Nnadi Nwashile, said, "The patients are in stable condition. Six persons in the bus were treated and discharged on the day of the accident.”

He added, “The two patients in the hospital are Mrs. Mary Okoro and her son, Freeman Okoro, who are being treated. Mrs. Okoro sustained a fracture on her upper arm and is being attended to by an Orthopaedic doctor. The son will be discharged soon.”

The accident, which occurred on Wednesday, involved a vehicle attached to the Governor’s Press Unit and two other vehicles. No life was lost.

supu oyibo

A true leader leading by example. God bless you my governor...

Nice gesture Sir. But how about using your office to make better roads so they can be safer and also improve health care system in your state. That's really what you should be doing right now.

When will he visit osunpec river and address that issue?

I no go talk

can't the people their cars where destroyed beyound repairs get a new one. they are saying they want to fix it. these cars could be their means of lively hood. after fixing, will they not still be having problems with it. if your saw the accident then you should know that what they need is a new car.

What a country, in a developed nation the Governor has nothing to do with individual medical bills rather they put in place a great medical access structure.

How many more Nigerians will they use to do their camera hospital show ?

well let's see what happens.. the owners of the two cars have been left in oblivion, the main victims of the accident. they only cheated death to be alive. cars that saulmansuted. we hope they don't have internal injuries. from a very close source they have been treating them selves..who is going to take charge of that.. these guys you need to see them.

Are you sure you are a human being? You see no good in anything, always negative response

please what's good in this? these people almost died. I believe you are one of the people that congratulates governor's for working on 10km of road. their civic responsibility. Nigerians wake up. the speed at which the convoy moved violates Nigeria road laws. oh I forgot they are above the law.

Are you saying he should not have visited the sick and clear the bills

What kind of rubbish is this.
God punish the gov
God punish the reporter

what he did is what he is suppose to do and believe me, he knows it, so stop the praises am not he even likes that.. he is just doing what a human being would do, trust me there need not be cameras in there for this... oh I forgot he is the governor.. people like you are the ones who cause problems for him. he looks gentle though but the owners of those cars should be made happy.. my take.

Again I have played golf several times with Gov. Obaseki. He is sure a good man. His name is wake up and see ... He is really trying in the state. He is the opposite of Oshiomhole. He talks less and do more while the latter talks more and do less.
