The Yobe state government has handed over various completed projects to rebuild and revitalise capital development as part of Governor Buni’s post-insurgency recovery program.
Speaking while handing over completed general studies and public health department edifice at the Shehu Sule College of Nursing and Sciences Commissioner, Ministry for Housing and Urban Development, Architect Ahmed Bouba Abba-Kyari, said the ministry is carrying out routine inspection visits to ensure timely and quality execution of all ongoing projects in the state.
Architect Buba Abba Kyari expressed appreciation for the quality of both completed and ongoing projects and called on the contractors handling the projects to speed up to meet the contractual requirements.
According to him, Governor Buni is willing to commission all ongoing projects early next year.
Receiving the newly completed edifice, Commissioner, Ministry for Health and Human Services, Dr Mohamed Lawan Gana, who handed over the projects to the college, said it is in line with Governor Buni’s vision towards increasing training of healthcare workers to make the state a centre for medical tourism.
Dr Lawan Gana further stated that Yobe has the lowest incidence of brain drain, pointing out that the government has recently observed over 2,500 healthcare workers across the state to improve healthcare delivery.
