Today, Hon. Abdulmumin Jibrin, PhD, Nigerian lawmaker once again demonstrated his commitment to saving lives as he donated blood at the Abuja Operations Centre of the National Blood Service Agency (NBSA). As a dedicated and regular donor for many years, his selfless act highlights the urgent need for increased voluntary blood donation in Nigeria.
The Director General of the NBSA, Prof. Saleh Yuguda, who witnessed the donation, praised Hon. Jibrin for his altruistic venture, describing it as exemplary and humane. He commended the lawmaker for setting a leadership standard that encourages citizens to participate in life-saving initiatives.
In response, Hon. Jibrin commended the management and staff of the NBSA for their relentless efforts in ensuring a safe and sufficient blood supply across the country. He further pledged more legislative support to strengthen the agency and help it achieve its mandate effectively.
