Nigeria’s steep descent into the jaws of lack of trust has sparked fears that those living in rural communities may be most affected and may not have a strong enough voice to contribute to the verbal exchange on their country’s security.
These come with rural farmers and devotees in rural communities. They come with many giant families who knew peace and serenity even in the midst of deprivation in the face of terrorism as an existential problem.
As terrorism continues its desperate crusade to end life in rural areas, the medical corps of workers concerned about those most affected by the relentless attacks has not been spared.
Just a few months ago, the Director General of Katsina State Primary Health Care Development Agency lamented that about 69 number one physical care progression centers had been set on fire as a result of terrorist activities.
About two weeks ago, gunmen hit Abdulsalami Abubakar General Hospital in Gulu, a local government area of Lapai in Niger state, killing a doctor and a pharmacist after killing two villagers.
Deploring the abductions, the Niger state president of the Nigerian Medical Association, Dr. Yusuf Mohammed, while giving the state government seven days to rescue abductees or face commercial actions, said a lack of trust in the state hampers its members. in remote places.
Today, it is no longer news that Niger State is one of the most insecure states in Nigeria. Last year, the kidnapping of more than a hundred schoolchildren in Tegina and their captivity for some 89 days shocked the entire country. Earlier this year, dozens of security workers who had gone to repel an attack on a mining site in Shiroro were brutally murdered by terrorists. However, it is the series of attacks on the workers’ medical staff that would possibly be most disturbing and disturbing.
The fitness sector in Nigeria has long been in a preventable crisis. One of the main drivers of this crisis is the shortage of medical staff workers to treat Nigeria’s more than two hundred million people.
This shortage has been attributed in part to the brain drain that continues to cause thousands of trained medical workers to leave the country each year to seek greener pastures elsewhere. 10,000 patients.
It is this crisis that is now going to exacerbate the lack of trust. The toll that lack of trust has taken on Nigeria since terrorism has become a hot factor cannot be well quantified.
For many Nigerians, life as they knew it could have been replaced forever. With the disintegration of Nigeria’s security architecture, a lack of trust in food has been accompanied by a shortage of life-saving physical care.
Until Nigeria makes something definitive about the many criminals who ravage its countryside and disrupt rural communities, Nigerians will never know anything resembling intelligent life.
