Tinubu commissions specialist hospital named after him in Kaduna

President Bola Tinubu has inaugurated a 300-bed specialist hospital at Millennium Square in Kaduna state.

The facility has been named the Bola Ahmed Tinubu Specialist Hospital.

The hospital consists of nine wings: maternal and child health, radiology and imaging, intensive care unit, special care unit and others.

The Nigerian Nuclear Regulatory Authority is also said to have given approval for the establishment of a cancer centre and nuclear facility in the complex.

Speaking at the ceremony, Uba Sani, the state governor, requested Tinubu’s intervention in building the cancer centre as “that’s the only thing missing”.

Responding, Tinubu commended Sani for his developmental projects and impacts on the people of the state.

“We’ve witnessed progress. You prioritise people. It is only a far-sighted leader who cares about his people that can establish this for their healthcare needs. I am very proud of what you are doing,” he said.
