Why I Almost Lost Faith In Women – TY Danjuma

He said: “I used to say that if you want anything properly done and delivered on time without any excuses give the job to a woman, until we had a female minister of petroleum.

“That woman excelled in corruption. She set a record that is yet to be beaten by anybody.

“So, I was in the process of reviewing my statement when I met one lady, Prof. Uche Amazigo. Uche and I have come a very long way. My first encounter with Uche was around mid-October 2010 when she was accompanied by Mrs. Franca Ilamiji, another Igbo woman.”

He said Prof Amazigo made him believe again that women remain the most trusted people to prudently manage public funds.

Danjuma said: “Uche and I have been colleagues for many years. After working for the TY Danjuma Foundation, I thought I had seen the end of Uche. I was mistaken.

“In early March 2022, Prof Uche, accompanied by two other female professors, presented to me a request to provide financial support for building and equipping a low-cost efficient medical centre to provide excellent medical services by predominantly female medical doctors, nurses and midwives who chose to dedicate their time to humanity.

“I listened to her carefully and asked a few questions. I wanted to know if they have cash and the name of the organization. And how she thinks an all-female-staff medical centre will function. She was ready for my questions.

“The result of all these questions is what you see here today. This magnificent edifice can only be built by women at the price they accounted to me. Men will take your money and you won’t see any building or money.”

Commending Prof Uche and her team for their commendable efforts, Danjuma expressed optimism that they would exceed the targets they had set for themselves.

Enugu State Governor Peter Mbah, represented by his deputy Ifeanyi Ossai, praised the elder statesman for exemplifying leadership in both public service and private life.

Governor Mbah also commended Prof Amazigo for initiating the project, emphasizing its substantial benefits for the people of Enugu State. He pledged the government’s commitment to safeguarding the investment by offering maximum support.

The CEO of Goodwill Medical Centre, Prof Amazigo, stated that the primary goal of establishing the hospital was to deliver high-quality healthcare to all.

She said: “This Centre with the assistance of seven consultant specialists and professors, will provide low-cost treatment for indigent patients and charge others (the rich) the standard medical fees”.

She disclosed that the center had perfected plans for the enrollment of 1,000 or more indigent people randomly selected from communities, into the National Health Insurance Authority/ Group, Individual, Family Social Health Insurance Programme (NHIA GIFSHIP).

“This will cost about N15 million at the rate of N15,000 per enrollee. This programme will provide comprehensive and robust health care services to the poor.”
