Niger govt to build general hospital in New Bussa
Governor Mohammed Bago of Niger State says his administration will soon build a befitting general hospital in New Bussa following the conversion of the existing one to a federal medical centre.
The governor stated this on Friday while on a tour of New Bussa, the headquarters of Borgu Local Government.
He said the decision was necessary to provide an effective and efficient healthcare service delivery to the people of the area.
Mr Bago, who inspected the temporary location of the general hospital, observed that the structure was grossly inadequate.
On road infrastructure, the governor directed Borgu stakeholders to decide where the 5km township road would be constructed due to security threats in the area.
He said, “Following security threats in the area that led to road diversion from Wawa to New Bussa, a new road that will connect the two communities will be constructed.”
The emir of Borgu, Muhammad SaniHaliru-Dantoro, Kitoro IV, said the people of Borgu kingdom would continue to hold the governor in high esteem.
Mr SaniHaliru-Dantoro lauded the governor for the developmental initiatives he had engineered and prayed for the success of his administration.
Other stakeholders at the event included the member representing the Agwara/Borgu Federal Constituency, Jafaru Mohammed and the member representing Borgu State Constituency, Abdulrahman Gambo Muhammad.
