A 500-level student of the department of Physics at the Federal University of Technology, Akure(FUTA) Ondo State, Mojeed Adegoke, has been diagnosed with chronic kidney disease and needs N11.5m to undergo a kidney transplant.
Speaking, the 23-year-old Adegoke said his condition started with headaches early last year before he was diagnosed with the medical condition.
He said, “I started having severe headaches but it did not stop. I could not continue my final year project because of this. I later went to my school clinic. After my complaint, my school referred me to the Federal Medical Centre, where I was examined and diagnosed with chronic kidney disease.”
The victim’s sister, Aminat Oladejo, said her brother was still alive because family members had been paying N40,000 to the hospital for dialysis every four days.
“Our parents are also trying, but we need help. It is God that has been seeing us through,” she added.
Our correspondent gathered that Adegoke’s family members, friends and concerned persons had assisted in raising the sum of N2.7m as part payment for his kidney transplant.
A consultant physician at the Afe Babalola University Multi-System Hospital Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State, Dr Stephen Oguntola, said the student was admitted to the hospital after being referred from the FMC, Owo adding that his condition was critical.
In a medical report signed by Oguntola, our correspondent observed that Adegoke’s dialysis for six months and his kidney transplant would cost N14,464,000.
