An Abuja-based charity organisation,
Dependable Basic Child Foundation, has appealed to good-spirited Nigerians to
quickly come to the aid of a dying baby, Master Abdullahi Abubakar, born to the
family of Mr.and Mrs. Abubakar Abubakar two months ago.
The president of the Foundation, Mrs
Charity Davou Dawang, made this call yesterday, when she visited LEADERSHIP
Corporate Headquarters in Abuja, in company of the vice-president,
Mrs Chinwe Nwegerue.
According to her, the two-month-old
Master Abubakar was born without an anus, resulting in his inability to pass
out faeces. He was taken to the National Hospital, Abuja, two weeks after his
birth when the parents observed that his stomach was swollen. At the hospital,
it was discovered that he had no anus. This led to an operation at the lower
abdomen to create an artificial opening through which the child could pass
waste.
It was gathered that it did not end
there, as complications developed, leading to protrusion of the intestine
through the created opening, and other abnormal health conditions.
The Foundation swung into action
following a save-our -soul call made to it by the helpless mother, who took
baby to the University of Abuja Teaching Hospital, Gwagwalada, where the child
has been receiving treatment on the bill of the Foundation.
The surgeon has recommended three
successive surgical operations to save the life of Baby Abdullahi. According to
Davou, N2m is required to fund the surgery and other medical charges.
The Foundation, therefore, appeals
to well-meaning individuals to respond to the plight of th Abubakars. Financial
assistance can be made through the following account number: 0129093995,
Account Name: Dependable Basic Concept, Bank: GTB.
The Foundation has also set about
soliciting for other forms of assistance like provision of diapers, baby
formula, clothes and other baby items from the public.
