Lions Club International, District 404-A2, Nigeria Kubwa Achievers, said it had identified a primary healthcare facility in Dutse Makaranta, Buari Local Council of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, which is in critical need of attention.

President of the club, Jessica Effiong, who disclosed this during her installation as the 10th leader of the club, promised to fix the healthcare centre and launch a fund-raising campaign to build an antenatal ward and proper toilet facilities at the healthcare centre.
