The Federal Government is owing the National Hospital in Abuja more than N48 million for the treatment of albinos with skin cancer,  President of The Albino Foundation (TAF) Mr Jake Epelle has said.

"We get the services of the National Hospital and it is predicated on the fact that we will get the Federal government through the Federal Ministry of Health to pay for the service we are getting from the National hospital albino cancer patients.  I want to use the opportunity to thank the board chairman and the Chief Medical Director of the hospital for having carried on despite the fact that we are indebted to the tune of N48 million. In spite of that, they are still treating us hoping that we will get our funds and pay our bills, which comes from Ministry of Health and Ministry of Finance," Epelle said.

He spoke at the on-the-spot assessment of the Federal Government/TAF free skin treatment project yesterday in Abuja

Epelle said the sunscreens they procured were rotting away and would expire in five months as government has refused to pay for the clearance.
