No fewer than 3,000 residents of Gurfata Ibwa Ward in the Gwagwalada area of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) reportedly lack access to proper healthcare in their community.
Monitng, a civic technology platform that provides citizens with information to track the progress of public projects and access public data, shared the photographs of the community on Sunday, noting that over 338 students were being denied education in the community.
Ilevbaoje Uadamen, the founder of Monitng, lamented that the primary health care centre and junior secondary school in the community were in a deplorable condition. He called on the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike and the FCT Senator, Ireti Kingibe, to take urgent action to intervene in Tatagyiya community.
SaharaReporters learnt that the health facility had been locked up for close to five years, making residents travel a long distance to access medical treatment.
It said, “Dear @GovWike & @IretiKingibe, the current state of the Primary Health Care Centre and Junior Secondary School in Gurfata Ibwa Ward, Gwagwalada, Abuja FCT is now in a deplorable condition, affecting over 3,000 residents and 338 students.
“Close to 3,000 residents and 338 students have been denied access to health facilities and access to education in the community.
“We call on @GovWike and @IretiKingibe to kindly reach out to the responsible authorities to do the needful.
“Senator Ireti should try and maintain the relationship before and after election. By reaching out to them.
“Project nomination should be what the people desire not what the representatives wishes. Because if the N100billion budgeted for the yearly Zonal intervention projects is well utilized, issues like this will not arise in local communities that they represent.”
“Both health care centre and school in the same community. The health facility has been locked up for close to 5 years now. So my own take is that need assessment is very key to be considered in projects implementation, Senator Ireti should pay more attention to the need of his constituents instead of doing empowerment that only few and party loyalists will benefit from,” the founder added.
