The immediate past Governor of Plateau State and the present Senator representing Plateau North Senatorial District, His Excellency, Da Sen. Jonah David Jang, CON has advocated for regular medical checkups to Senators to enhance effectiveness in their legislative duties.

He said the medical checkups will reveal illness which will be given immediate medical attention to promote sound health condition and productivity.

Sen. Jang made this call during the Plenary session of the Senate today 11th April, 2018 when the Senators were paying their respect and tributes to Late Sen. Mustapha Bukar (APC), Senator representing Katsina North, Katsina State.

Senator Jang described late Sen. Mustapha Bukar as a humble man and a technocrat said his death is a monumental loss to his family, Katsina State, Senate and Nigeria as a whole.

Sen. Jang said the fall of a dry leaf is a warning to the green ones. He went further to say power and life are transient.

He said God gives life and He takes whenever He deem fit. Sen. Bukar has played his role and finished his mission on earth. I barely know him for almost 3 years here in the Senate and you won’t even know he is the Senator representing our President, Sen. Jang said.
He prayed for the soul of the deceased to rest in peace.

Sen. Jang said medical checkups are vital and should be done at least once year by the Medical Unit of the National Assembly to ensure Senators are healthy to perform their functions credibly.
He said as a Governor, he ensured his Commissioners and Advisers were medically checked and the results were quite revealing which made those ill got medical attention and functioned effectively.

It would be recalled that Bukar who died on April 4th, 2018 after a brief illness had been buried in accordance with the Islamic rite.
Until his death, Bukar, 68, was representing president Muhammadu Buhari in the hallowed chamber.
