By Abdulateef Bamgbose
The Senator representing Benue South Senatorial District, Comrade Abba Patrick Moro, thanks President Muhammadu Buhari for the presidential assent given to the Federal University of Health Sciences, Otukpo (FUHSO) establishment Bill sponsored by the Senator on the floor of the Senate.
The Bill passed First Reading on the floor of the Senate on 26th November, 2019 and assented to by the President on 19th October, 2022, in accordance with the provisions of the Acts Authentication Act Cap., A2, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004.
Senator Moro says he’s excited and happy that the journey to a legally and lawfully established Federal University of Health Sciences, Otukpo (FUHSO) has been successfully concluded. He thanks members of the 9th Assembly, especially the Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, for the expedient actions on the Bill.
The Senator is grateful to the President, Muhammadu Buhari, for his assent without which the action of the 9th National Assembly would have been an exercise in futility.
Senator Moro also thanks his predecessor, leader and former Senate President, H.E., Senator David Mark, for the facilitation of the school to Benue South. He says without Senator Mark’s foresight, the school would not have birthed.
The Senator says with the presidential assent, FUHSO has come to stay. He congratulates Nigerians, the good people of Benue South in particular, and urges them to take advantage of the school and make good use of it.
