Staff at General Hospital Zuru in Kebbi State gave two children an injection and the children died, whereby marking another case where patients lose their lives in the hospital.
The staff who gave the injection do not hold the right qualifications for the work.
The Kebbi State Government and the Nigerian government do not invest in the health sector.
They also provide no oversight or accountability.
As a result lives keep getting lost while officials look the other way.
People now ask why Kebbi sees these failures again and again. However the problems stretch further.
The Kebbi State Nutrition Office reports that 608 children died from severe malnutrition across 21 treatment centres in five local government areas between January and September 2025.
In addition replies on social media tie the issue to low education standards and hiring of untrained workers in the north.
Residents demand a full investigation into the deaths at the hospital.
They want to know how many more children must die before officials treat health care as a priority.
