“Give me a place to stand, and a lever long enough, and I will move the world.” These words of Greek philosopher Archimedes have inspired people through the ages to consider how to initiate change. The political, retired lieutenant general, and philanthropist, Theophilus Yakubu (TY) Danjuma, has demonstrated an understanding of Archimedes’ words, grasping the means to effect changes across the nation.
Danjuma has gladdened the hearts of Taraba residents by establishing a medical centre for treating the eyes in the state. Called Daisy Danjuma Eye Hospital, the medical centre in Takum, Taraba State is already turning heads due to its humanitarian foundations. Given Danjuma’s selflessness, the hospital will doubtless come to be known for changing the lives of Taraba residents.
Based on reports, Danjuma’s gift to the Taraba people is hinged on his desire to reinforce health infrastructure in the state. From his perspective, helping people maintain a clear and literal vision goes a long way in positioning them for conceptual visions. Now people can dream great dreams and commit themselves to living a better, more rounded life.
Governor Agbu Kefas of Taraba is the first to have his visions adjusted. He was the first to make a strong commitment to improvement during the inauguration. According to Governor Kefas, a new era is upon the people of Taraba, one in which he will not hesitate to deepen the distribution of democracy’s dividends to all and sundry.
In truth, Danjuma is known across the nation for doing such amazing things. It was not long ago that he did something similar in Enugu State, completing and launching the Goodwill Medical Centre (GMC). What about his $1.36-million donation to the College of Medicine, University of Ibadan (CoMUI), or how he gave away a 500-capacity female hostel to the University of Benin?
Danjuma’s generosity is almost boundless. In this day and age, it is immeasurably revolutionary.
