On Saturday, February 8, 2025, AUN President Dr. DeWayne Frazier led students and faculty in the nursing program on a medical outreach visit to the Wuro-Hausa Community Primary Health center, in Yola. The President and his entourage donated medicines and supplies worth over N400,000 to the management of the health facility. During the visit, the President led the students to go round the wards cheering up the patients.
"We are here to be with you and show you we care. Our program requires us to learn and meet the community, this won't be the last time we come, but this is the first time. We have some medical doctors, nurses, and students who are studying to be nurses that are here. We brought you medicines. Everything that we're doing today is for free, nobody will ask you to pay any money. It's not about money, but about showing you all that we love you, and we want to be able to help," Dr. Frazier reassured.
