Bayari died Thursday night at the Jos University Teaching Hospital (JUTH), after a brief illness.
Until his death, he was the National President of Gan Allah Fulani Development Association of Nigeria (GAFDAN) as well as the former national secretary of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN), where he served for about two decades.
He has also participated in many national and grassroots development initiatives, and was a remarkable mobilizer in that respect, among his other societal growth engagements.
GAFDAN’s Plateau State Chairman, Garba Abdullahi Muhammad, confirmed Bayari’s death to Daily Trust.
Bayari has buried Friday morning acording to Islamic rites.
”For those of us in the health sector, we have lost quite several colleagues.
Across the country, we have lost not less than 20 doctors in the last one week,” chairman of the Nigeria Medical Association (NMA) FCT chapter, Dr Enema Amodu said during a recent news conference.
Daily Trust findings also shows that because of the high rate of infections amongst medical personnel, with hundreds testing positive across the country, some hospitals have had to scale down their services.
Checks by our reporters revealed that doctors who are not infected are overworked in hospitals where services have not been affected.
Spokesperson of the hospital, Bridget A. Omini, gave the directive yesterday in Jos following the report of the increase in the number of COVID-19 positive cases in the state.
Daily Trust had reported how the authorities of the hospital had decried the increased number of COVID-19 patients trooping to the hospital in recent time and how the facility was running short of bed spaces.
The hospital, however, urged the general public to cooperate with staff on duty without any obstruction, distraction of hospital equipment, or threat of physical assault, promising to provide quality services despite the current challenges.
