On Tuesday, Ba’aba Habu and his wife, Amina, welcomed quadruplets at Fika General Hospital in Yobe State.
The family based in the Zirki Zanzana area of Fika town, is however disturbed over the bundle of joy.
Habu is a subsistent farmer in the village while Amina is a full-time housewife with no trade or skill to support a family with six other children.
The Nation checks revealed that the newborns require specialised medical attention and we’re referred to the Specialist Hospital Potiskum.
At Potiskum General Hospital they will need to be placed in incubators for survival and proper care.
This essential treatment, along with mounting hospital bills and the future needs of four infants, present a monumental financial burden for a family that already struggles to make ends meet.
Habu appealed to the Yobe State Government and compassionate individuals to help them navigate this crisis.
“I don’t have the power to do this alone but Allah that has blessed me with this children will not allow them to suffer.
“I am calling on Yobe State Government to come to my rescue. I know Gov. Mai Mala Buni will not look away from us Isha Allah,” the father of the quadruplets said.
Their simple plea is for the assistance necessary to care for their four new children and to give them a chance at life.
“We just want our children to survive”, Amina, the mother said.
The Nation gathered that the State Emergency Management Agency through its Executive Secretary Dr. Mohammed Goje has deposited the N500,000 to cater for the medical bill of the children.
YOSEMA has also pledged to provide livelihood support for the family.
