Buhari Calls Kano Governor During Prayers

The prayer was said to have been organised by the state government officials for the quick recovery of the president.

Speaking to the governor, Buhari confirmed that the status of his health was improving.

“I’m much better now and I thank you for the prayers and indeed the entire Nigerians”.

The brief conversation was believed to have been heard by the people in the hall, having been placed on speakerphone.

A nurse has become the first in a wheelchair to work on the frontline of the NHS.Michelle Quested, 33, lost the use of her legs in a car accident seven years ago. But the dedicated nurse was determined not to let her disability get in the way of her clinical work at Birmingham Children’s Hospital. Quested made £1,800 worth of changes to her wheelchair in order to be able to work, supported by the Cavell Nurses Trust, before returning to the hospital’s neonatal cardiology ward. ‘I cannot find any other frontline nursing staff in the UK who use a wheelchair, after doing a lot of research,’ she said. ‘But nurses are born to be nurses – and I wasn’t going to let being in a wheelchair stop me.’ Quested qualified as a nurse in 2004, and started working at the children’s hospital soon afterwards.
