COMRADE ADAMS ABOUNU LAUDS SENATOR DAVID MARK ON FEDERAL UNIVERSITY OF HEALTH SCIENCES OTUKPO BILL; GRANTS SCHOLARSHIPS TO MEDICAL STUDENTS.

A frontline youth and grassroots mobilizer, Comrade Adams Abounu, has described as most laudable the recent second reading of the bill for the establishment of a Federal University Of Health Sciences, Otukpo.

The bill which was sponsored by Distinguished Senator David Mark passed a unanimous second reading on the floor of the senate on Wednesday 18th October 2017, enjoying  overwhelming contributions and support from senators across the aisle. 

Speaking to news men in Abuja shortly after witnessing the proceedings, Comrade Abounu said this has again shown that service to humanity and profound human development is the crux of the David Mark legacy. He described the former Senate President as a true nationalist and a strong believer in the development of his immediate constituency.

Comrade Adams Abounu also used the opportunity to call on all Idoma sons and daughters both at home and in diaspora to continue upholding the undisputed political leader of Benue South in their prayers.

He pointed out that the massive support the bill enjoyed during plenary is not just an endorsement of the bill itself but equally a testimonial of the nationwide acceptance of the sponsor, Distinguished Senator Mark.

Abounu therefore rejoiced with the Idoma nation and Benue State saying the establishment of such a University has all-encompassing benefits for the immediate community and the nation at large. He prayed God to continue guiding the senator and expressed hope that the bill which has been given to the senate committee on tertiary institutions and TET Fund will come out positively.

The astute youth leader, who is seeking to represent APA State Constituency at the Benue House of Assembly also affirmed that he was ready to use his humble earnings to support any APA son or daughter to gain admission into the university  in form of scholarship in appreciation of the noble development. He charged APA people to remain committed to their renewed zeal for quality representation which his development aspirations embodies.
