General Muhammadu Shuwa Specialist Hospital in Maiduguri, the Borno
State capital.
The Commissioner of health, Dr. Salma Anas Kolo disclosed this on Wednesday while sharing experiences during the celebration of international day of peace organised by Youth Federation for World Peace at the North-East peace summit in Maiduguri.

“The Governor in his usual mannerism indicated interest to give his blood to save the woman. This is what is expected of a leader, and Governor Kashim Shettima has been teaching the people of Borno State what it means to be a true servant leader”, she said.
Dr. Kolo, who also bagged an award for peace, further encouraged the people to continue to work towards finding a last peace in the state.
