MINISTER OF PETROLEUM RESOURCES REFUTES HOSPITAL ADMISSION CLAIM.

The minister of Petroleum resources Diezanni Allison-Maduekwe has refuted claims that she is on admission in an undisclosed hospital in London via her Facebook page.

This comes as there has been widespread criticism of her admission following revelations that the first lady is also on admission for food poisoning in a German hospital.

Allison-Maduekwe says that she is not on admission and contrary to reports, she and her family are doing just fine.

Critics have criticized government officials of what they call medical tourism in foreign hospitals while public hospitals which are expected to cater for over one hundred and sixty million Nigerians remain unequipped and cannot cater for emergencies.

Two former first ladies in recent years have died on foreign beds in foreign hospitals and the nation's health sector is in dire need of a total overhaul.
