President Muhammadu Buhari has offered to pay the medical bill of a young girl who was shot by robbers, his media office has said.
He made the offer on Sunday while on a visit to the survivors of Friday night’s bomb attacks Nyanya and Kuje who are currently receiving treatment at the trauma centre of the national hospital.
Buhari directed Abba Kyari, his chief of staff, to settle the N268,790 medical bill of the young girl who was on admission at the paediatric ward of the hospital.
The girl’s mother, Deborah Stephen, had broken in tears on seeing Buhari.

She said her daughter had been shot by armed robbers who raided their home and that the family could not afford the medical bills.
Meanwhile, the president has reassured survivors of the bomb attacks that the federal government would take full responsibility for settling their medical bills.
He was accompanied by his personal aides and Ibikunle Amosun, governor of Ogun state.
