He said that he had signed several memorandums of understandings (MoUs) with the foundation during his last trip to Germany to move the state to greater heights, stressing that he never believed they were going to become reality so soon.
Mohammed stated that the foundation had mapped out 10 hospitals in 10 local government areas of the state, adding that three of them had been upgraded in three council areas, namely: Bauchi, Gamawa and Kirfi.
He listed the remaining seven local government areas to be touched by the foundation to include: Zaki, Katagum, Dass, Tafawa Balewa, Bogoro, Toro and Ningi.
“I appreciate the founder of Water is Life Foundation, Rolf Stahlhofen, for a promise kept.
“As at the time we were signing those MoUs in Germany, I did not know that they would come into fruition so soon.
“I was afraid because it used to be a normal usual way of doing things, that is, signing agreements and at the end of the day, nothing will come out of it.”
