Most Nigerians who live outside Ebonyi state seeing erected hospital buildings in Ebonyi state should not be carried away or deceived. The truth is that nothing so good is happening in Ebonyi state health sector which is the truth. Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi state has completely neglected the health sector of the state. Despite the huge monthly allocation coming from the federal government of Nigeria to put things right in Ebonyi state, still the state is not moving as expected. The hospitals have shortage of staffs and many other facilities that are needed to run hospitals efficiently. When the past governors were there, before governor David Umahi took over the running of the state, things were better but the administration of governor David Umahi turned everything upside down. Another troubling aspect is the educational system of Ebonyi state which the past governors made one of their main priorities to make sure that the people of Ebonyi state get quality education but when governor David Umahi came to power, he changed everything completely which led Viewers Corner News team to asking this question, what can any individual do without proper education in the world of today? Although it is true that every government has his own agenda but then Viewers Corner News team believes that educating the people of your state as a governor should be part of your agendas which governor David Umahi fails to understand. Even some of those individuals that own private schools in Ebonyi state who criticised governor David Umahi in the past were punished. Governor David Umahi closed their schools, showing that education does not matter much in his administration’s agenda but his children are studying abroad. Now hear this, when you send people of your state to school, some of them would become medical doctors, nurses etc., who would later be useful in the state and Nigeria as a whole but when you destroy the educational sector of your state, how and where are you going to get qualified individuals to work in the state? Honestly for Ebonyi state to move forward, governor David Umahi should invest more on education like the past governors did. It is a long term investment which would bring benefits where everyone would be comfortable which is the reality of life. Viewers Corner News team expects every governor in Nigeria who believes in the future development of her people to invest more on the educational system of their states because it is one of the ways to move the state and the country forward.
