Governor Sani Bello further highlighted that the government’s efforts were aimed at enhancing the working conditions for medical professionals.
He expressed hope that the subsequent administration would continue the progress achieved, stating, “If this initiative is sustained, we can anticipate having high-quality, standard hospitals throughout Niger State in the coming years.”
The governor commended the doctors and healthcare staff for their unwavering dedication, acknowledging the challenges they faced due to overwhelming workloads.
Prior to the commissioning, Dr. Muhammad Muhammad Makusidi, the Commissioner for Health, revealed that the Suleja General Hospital, which is 59 years old, had never undergone any renovation.
He emphasized that the remodeled facility now features modern equipment and provides a conducive working environment for medical professionals, ensuring the delivery of qualitative, affordable, and accessible healthcare services.
