Buni Receives Two Ambulances Donated by Chevron

Governor Mai Mala Buni has also received two ambulances donated by Chevron Nigeria Limited, describing the donation as a major boost to the state’s healthcare delivery and emergency response capacity.

The ambulances were received on behalf of the state government by the Commissioner for Health, Dr. Mohammed Lawan Gana, and later presented to the governor in Damaturu.

Commending Chevron for the donation, Governor Buni said the gesture reflected a strong partnership that aligns with the government’s agenda of expanding access to quality healthcare services. He emphasised that effective healthcare delivery requires collaboration among stakeholders, noting that corporate support plays a vital role in saving lives and improving service efficiency.

Presenting the keys, Dr. Gana described the donation as timely, stating that it would enhance referral services and improve access to emergency healthcare, especially for women and children.

He disclosed that the ambulances would be deployed to the Maternal and Child Referral Centre at the Yobe State University Teaching Hospital to support rapid response and the transportation of patients requiring urgent medical attention.
