Bauchi to shut down health centres during nationwide protest
The Bauchi State Government has announced plans to close all Primary Healthcare Centres (PHCs) on the day of the proposed nationwide anti-government protest. The decision aims to protect the lives of healthcare staff and patients amidst potential security threats.
Dr. Rilwanu Mohammed, Executive Chairman of the Bauchi State Primary Healthcare Development Board, made this announcement at the opening of the bi-annual media engagement on PHC Services Reporting Techniques held in Bauchi on Tuesday.
“Security reports have indicated that our PHCs may be targeted during the protest. We are not willing to risk the lives of our staff and patients. So, we will be closing these facilities,” Dr. Mohammed said.

He added that healthcare staff would be on holiday during the protest to avoid potential attacks. “Normal services will resume after the protest concludes. The board has informed security agencies to protect healthcare facilities across the state,” he added.
Dr. Mohammed also highlighted ongoing efforts to address zero-dose immunization in some local government areas (LGAs) of Bauchi State. He emphasized the media’s significant role in this regard, noting that immunization drives have been designed to take place on market days, during naming ceremonies, and at other gatherings where women and children are present.
