The Periscope Global Publishers personality of the week is a philanthropic technocrat, Alhaji Abdullahi Ahmed, a.k.a Golden Boy, a.k.a Abdu Dollar.
Abdu Dollar has donated five million naira to the Hospital Paupers Fund of the Modibbo Adama University Teaching Hospital, MAUTH Yola, to be able to foot the hospital bills of the indigent patients on admission in the hospital.
It was not his first donation to the hospital paupers fund. Abdu Dollar earlier donated three million naira, in addition to going round the admission wards of the hospital to share money to the patients; ranging from twenty thousand naira to fifty thousand naira each as the case may be.
Dr Mahdi Abba led the Abdu Dollar Foundation to MAUTH Yola for the presentation of the cheque of the five million naira donated to the Hospital Paupers Fund .
It was revealed that the Chief Medical Director of the Hospital, Prof Auwal Muhammad Abubakar, while on telephone conversation with Abdu Dollar, related the breakdown of the cost effectiveness of the hospital paupers fund. Impressed with the activities of the fund scheme, Abdu Dollar made a apolitical pledge of five million naira and in less than 24 hours, the pledge was redeemed.
Dr Mahdi has revealed to the Periscope Global that “Abdu Dollar, doesn’t make any commitment that he would not get to accomplish. He’s a man of his words, mindful not to fall into the hypocritical category.
“Hospital Paupers Fund is a worthy initiative to be supported rather than to be played politics with, using the media to make unaccomplished pledges; apparently appealing for public applause upon empty promises.
“We should be thinking about humanity rather than playing politics, taking advantage of the indigent patients. Let’s donate generously what we can afford to give, not make bogus pledges we can’t redeem.
“Abdu Dollar is hereby registering his appreciation to the management of MAUTH Yola for establishing the hospital paupers fund, where in service to humanity as a collective social responsibility, while applauding the Hospital Paupers Fund Committee”.
Abdu Dollar has contributed to the Hospital Paupers Fund, the sum of eight million naira, making him the second individual with the highest donation after Waziri Adamawa who donated twenty million naira to the fund scheme.
