Governor Uba Sani said that the initiative is part of his SUSTAIN agenda, aimed at improving healthcare delivery across the state.
The renovation is part of Governor Uba Sani’s efforts to address critical issues in the hospital’s infrastructure, including design faults, drainage, patient and staff flow, infection prevention, and energy efficiency.

The renovation is intended to reduce the need for residents to seek medical care in neighboring states, by enhancing the quality and capacity of local healthcare facilities.
