Mandelaguy: A positive step in a positive direction. This GEJ administration is not getting enough credit for all it is trying to give to Nigerians. A country that has been regressive and almost at the precipice of dark abyss is gradually being brought back to a constructive and focused existence. I keep saying it that the culmination of all the Federal govt. projects between now and first quarter of 2015 will make Nigerians realise that those who kept us in this position of backwardness are feeding their emotions with lies and deceit in order to come back and assume the same nonchalant positions and postures on the affairs of this great nation. Kudos to GEJ and Onyebuchi Chukwu. We are all waiting.

HNosegbe: But why MUST it be in Abuja? Shouldn't the Federal Government be thinking about how to spread development across the country? Why not construct SIX of these across the geo-political zones?

The effect of this will only be to make Abuja more and more attractive, whereas true development can only be driven from the grassroots.

This move might well prove counter-intuitive.

ROSSIKE:

Well spoken. I actually consider this the best administration this country has ever had. The main difference between this administration and previous ones is that even though there is corruption, which all administrations have been guilty of, they are still doing tangible things in office.

Have you asked yourself what happened to National Hospital Abuja? What happened to Abuja central hospital

Omo_Tier1:
Have you asked yourself what happened to National Hospital Abuja? What happened to Abuja central hospital We do not lack Hospitals in the country, what we need is to expand on the existing ones and raise their standards.

Obasanjo came up with model Health Care centre distributed across the country with Federal Medical Centers and Teaching Hospitals to handle more complicated cases. Many States have Central Hospitals established in major towns and cities across the state. They too if their standards are raised will compliments the FMC and Teaching Hospitals.

ROSSIKE:

Nothing happened to them. Those hospitals are functioning adequately. Have you ever been in National Hospital Abuja? I doubt there is any equipment lacking in that place.

Here's the website:

Many of us who don't visit these places assume automatically that they're lacking in everything.

The govt just wants to build a BIGGER and BETTER hospital.

kutchs: Ride on GEJ , am so proud of you. By the time you tenure runs out in 2019 pple will come to know that slow and steady win the race.

OMG2013: I hope it is not an avenue to loot money

Omo_Tier1:
If they were nt lacking, why didnt GEJ do His medical check up there?..Why did He have to come to London for check up? Why was Suntai flown Germany? Chime un koh ..Guy I know you love Nigeria but take sense do am..

Mandelaguy: you will agree with me that if it becomes a geo-political issue at the point, it will become bogus and amount to a white elephant project as has been the case with past administrations. The wise thing to do is to start the project at the centre and when it succeeds, take it down to the geopolitical zones. Mind you, the teaching hospitals round the federation are been upgraded as the national good governance tour has showcased in he zones visited, and the federal medical centres are no left out in this upward trend in upgrading our health facilities. This government has direction, GEJ and Onyebuchi Chukwu rocks.

Demdem: Ooooo, its still a plan. Won't regard it as an achievement yet. Will wait till then.

first time you didn't include retardeen in your post. I'm really happy for you. In short, happy valentine joor.

COOLDUN:

You are partially right, but why not the government take up more important projects like this one than Les important ones like the 16billion Vice presidents house project, this is only millions of Naira project, if you calculate the 16billion naira meant for a single house , you will see that it can give the 6 Geo political zones this great project with enough change remaining. Or how do you see it?

A-ZeD:

National Hospital is not good enough for them
