2,000 trained health workers leave sector
Out of 4,000 health workers trained by the Bauchi State Government, 2,000 have left the services of the state.
The state Commissioner of Health, Dr. Halima Mukkadas stated this while answering questions from journalists at a journalist roundtable on Bauchi state 2015 Health Budget scorecard held in Bauchi.
“The 4,000 that were sponsored by the government were given automatic employment after the training but unfortunately 2,000 of them absconded without serving their bond with the state government,” she said.
While also speaking, the secretary of Bauchi State Accountability Mechanism for Maternal and Newborn Health (BASAM), Bulak Afsa, called on the state government to always publish budget information on time and ensure timely release of budgeted funds for capital projects.
