Ilorin, June 28, 2018 (NAN) The Ilorin Emirate Youth Development Association has commended President Muhammadu Buhari for appointing an indigene of the Emirate as the new Chief Medical Director (CMD) of the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital (UITH).
The association gave the commendation in a statement signed by its President, Alhaji Salaudeen Babatunde, and Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Uthman Jagunma, and made available to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Thursday in Ilorin.
NAN recalls that Buhari had on June 19 approved the appointment of Prof. Abdullahi Yusuf as the new CMD of UITH.
His appointment came barely three months after the expiration of erstwhile CMD, Prof. Abdulwaheed Olatinwo, who bowed out of office in March 2018.
The statement noted that the youth of the emirate were delighted that Buhari and the Minister of Health, Prof. Isaac Adewole, acceded to the association’s request that an indigene be appointed.
The group pledged its continuing support for the success of the Buhari administration.
The association had in a letter written to the president requested for the appointment of an indigene of the community as the new boss of the UITH. (NAN)
