Nigerians are in safe hands – Aisha Buhari

Wife of the President, Mrs. Aisha Buhari, on Thursday said Nigerians are in safe hands in President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration.

The President’s wife spoke in Enugu, where she inaugurated a Health Screening Initiative Programme.

She also assured Nigerians that her husband’s administration would generate love, unity, security and integrity in the country.


“The government of my husband is a government of unity, love and security.

“Nigerians are in safe hands in my husband’s government,” she said.

According to her, Buhari would safeguard the future of Nigerians through good governance.

The health screening programme, which is expected to enable women ascertain their health condition at no cost, would promote good health, particular among the rural women and the less privileged, she said.

She added that her love for the downtrodden informed the introduction of the screening exercise, especially against the backdrop of prevailing economic hardship in the country.

Mrs. Buhari noted that rural women lacked the financial strength to access healthcare delivery.

“This health screening will be attending to not less than 2,000 women from virtually all the 17 local government areas of the state,” the President’s wife said.

Mrs. Buhari explained that volunteer health professionals would render free medical health services to the women.

The programme includes screening tests for cervical cancer, eye problems, diabetes, high-blood pressure and other ailments.

In an address at the event, the wife of Enugu State Governor, Mrs. Monica Ugwuanyi, thanked the President’s Wife for inaugurating the health screening exercise in the state.

Ugwuanyi noted that about two thousand women in the state would access free health care through the programme.

She equally said her office had perfected plans to replicate the programme in the seventeen local government areas of the state.
