Kano doctors perform first brain surgery on 26-year-old Nigerian man

- A Kano state hospital over the weekend performed its first ever brain surgery

- The surgery was performed on one 26-year-old Ali Iliyasu who suffered brain disorder after a fatal accident

- The successful brain-open surgery was effected after 11 months of fruitless appointment with different facilities

The new Muhammadu Buhari Specialist Hospital, Giginyu, Kano,have successfully carried out its first brain surgery over the weekend.

The 48-hour surgery performed on one 26-year old Ali Iliyasu following a brain disorder after a fatal accident was carried out by five Kano-based medical doctors over the weekend.

Speaking on the procedure, a neuro-surgeon consultant, Dr. Shu’aibu Sule Dambatta, said the successful brain-open surgery was effected after 11 months of fruitless appointment with different facilities.

Guardian reports that Dambatta, who led the team of surgeons said his team was contacted within the shortest period of time and they accepted to conduct the surgery

Dambatta said: "We were contacted within the shortest period of time and we accepted to conduct the surgery. As you can see the patient is now talking to you less than 24 hours after the surgery. When you see a patient like this after surgery you don’t need to be told it was a successful exercise."

"He goes to the rest room on his feet, just within 24 hours after the surgery. We all thank Allah for this all-important breakthrough in this Specialist Hospital,” Dambatta said.

According to the neurosurgeon, Iliyasu's surgery was conducted free of charge although the family are left with the responsibility of purchasing prescribed drugs for the patient.

Also speaking, the Kano state governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, who visited the hospital applauded the professional touch of the medical team.

Ganduje said the success of the surgery cannot be unconnected with the specialized medical management team initiated by the state government.

The governor said the hospital's management under the Public Private Partnership (PPP) has facilitated efficient service delivery and functional management of the state-of-the-art equipment in the hospital.

Also, the patient Iliyasu said: “I had been suffering from this problem for the past 26 years when I had an accident. Since then, my brain has not been the same again."

"My family and I suffered a lot by going from one place to another in search of medical attention and intervention, all to no avail. The last place we went gave me an appointment of 11 months after which a surgery would be conducted on me," Iliyasu added.

Iliyasu said that before the surgery was conducted, he usually find it difficult to sleep but regained his consciousness and comfort immediately after the operation.

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari. It is unarguable that the President arrays the most competence-challenged cabinet ever in the chronicle of governance in Nigeria. Yes, a recession cabinet. Fredrick Nwabufo Here is a cabin...
