He stated, “This massive infrastructure spans over six hectares of land, it has a full outpatients complement of medical diagnosis, accident and emergency, everything you can imagine in a specialist hospital will be here. It also includes 280 beds accommodation built on four different verticals; it has auxiliary facilities which include a big restaurant, central laboratory facilities.

We are hoping that before the end of this year, our keys should be handed over to us and this becomes active, I thank the Oniba and all other traditional institutions.’’
