Sokoto State government has employed no fewer than 21 doctors who just graduated from the Usman Danfodiyo University, to help increase man power requirement in the health sector, even as the governor has also facilitated the circumcision of boys in the hospitals.
The governor who attributed the intervention in circumcision (wanzamai) to the fatalities among boys resulting from traditional practice known as (Kuidu) hitherto engaged in by the locals, assured that various training programmes have been organized for the traditional surgeons.
According to Tambuwal’s spokesperson, Imam Imam, the traditional surgeons are undergoing training that would guarantee basic hygiene and allows for standard operating procedure.
